Craftsmanship

At Leather Heats, our products are crafted with care by skilled artisans who bring years of experience to every stitch and detail. Each item is handmade with dedication, ensuring every piece meets our high standards for quality. From wallets to bags, our artisans understand the nuances of leatherwork, using both time-honored techniques and precise methods to create goods that are both functional and elegant. Their expertise in cutting, skiving, stitching, and finishing ensures that every product is a true work of art.

Leather Types

Leather selection is essential to the quality and feel of our products. Here are some types of leather we use:

 

  • Full-Grain Leather: This is the highest quality leather, maintaining the natural grain and unique character of the hide. It’s durable, ages beautifully, and develops a unique patina over time, making it ideal for duffel bags and briefcases.
  • Oil Pull-Up Leather: Known for its rich, waxy finish, oil pull-up leather lightens when bent or scratched, giving each product a rustic, lived-in look that suits casual bags and accessories.
  • Crazy Horse Leather: This type of leather has a rugged, vintage appeal with a rich color variation that looks better with use, making it a favorite for wallets and bags.
  • Cow and Buffalo Leather: We primarily use cow and buffalo leather, known for their strength and durability. These leathers provide the toughness needed for bags and briefcases, ensuring they withstand daily wear and tear.

By choosing the right type of leather for each product, we ensure a balance of durability, style, and functionality.

Our Production Process

Our approach to production is specific to each type of product, ensuring that every piece performs well and feels right:

 

  • Wallets: To create a slim, elegant finish, we skive the leather to reduce its thickness, making it lightweight yet durable.
  • Ladies’ Bags: We use softer, more flexible leather for ladies' bags, providing comfort and style without compromising durability.
  • Duffel Bags & Briefcases: These items require toughness and longevity, so we use thicker, high-quality leather to ensure they withstand daily wear while retaining their structure.

Product Usage Tips

Here are some usage tips to help you get the most from each type of leather product:

 

  • Duffel Bags: Avoid overpacking to maintain the bag's shape. Use the internal compartments to organize contents, preventing strain on the leather.
  • Briefcases: Keep sharp objects in protective sleeves to avoid scratching. When carrying electronics, ensure they’re cushioned to reduce internal pressure on the leather.
  • Tote Bags: For everyday use, try not to overload, as totes are designed for versatility rather than heavy-duty carrying. Store keys and sharp items in designated pockets.
  • Wallets: Avoid overstuffing your wallet to prevent stretching. Store it in a secure pocket or bag compartment to avoid scratches.

General Tips

Rotate your leather items regularly to give each one a break, maintaining their shape and appearance over time. Remember that different leathers react to weather differently; treat them with a water-resistant conditioner if they’ll be exposed to rain.
