Buffalo Creek Leatherworks specializes in handcrafted, quality leather goods in the tradition of the Arts & Crafts Movement. Timeless designs reflect commitment to craftsmanship and the highest standards of quality. Designs are inspired by nature and crafted using vegetable tanned leather. Vegetable tanning is an ancient eco-friendly process using natural materials like bark extracts, leaves, roots and fruits to transform animal hides into leather. The result is a malleable medium with unique colors and finishes that develop a beautiful patina over time. Designs are brought to life by introducing moisture to the leather and sculpting it with uniquely shaped modeling and stamping tools. All carving, tooling, stitching, dyeing and finishing is performed by hand. Each leather piece is carefully crafted with patience and attention to detail with the goal of creating something that can be enjoyed and cherished for years to come.
