Born and raised in the quiet lanes of High Park, the world of fine leather goods was a chance encounter. Long before ever touching my first piece of leather, I have been drawn to nature, old world quality, and a sense of community.

I love the stories a simple object sitting alone can tell through time. I saw the sense of design and fluid lines in the swaying trees and architecture.

In a busy city like Toronto, you will find a quiet retreat away from the noise. A simple conversation, a visit to a maker. On the workshop wall hangs a question my father carried. I have spent years trying to answer it.

“Where are tomorrow’s craftsmen?”

When I started making leather goods, I never knew it would evolve so fast. The need to cover my favourite pair of handmade Sheffield scissors in case worthy of the hands that took time to make it. An obsession was born, and the trade followed me for many years.

Each piece is made with a simple nod to family tradition. With every cut, stitch and sketch, it is done on my great grandfather’s table.

Always building up Toronto. Whenever possible, I will choose Canadian suppliers, Toronto based printing/packaging and local leathercraft stores. Making leather goods with materials that have a story of their own, that is something special to me.

I hope to make a world away from the busy city life, in a small room designing and making bespoke pieces worthy of the “Made in Toronto” stamp. It’s here that you will find the finest leathers, classic designs and a maker with an obsession to make them like they used to.
