About

I enjoy working with leather.  I enjoy trying new things as well.  Sometimes I get an idea and I can not wait to put it on leather.  Sometimes I get an idea and it needs time to develop – and it will be 6 months, 8 months or a year before I am ready to put it on leather (there is one idea still running through my mind – but it isn’t ready to come out yet).    

Someone once suggested that you should only keep things that are useful or that you find beautiful.  I figure why shouldn’t the things we use – also be beautiful?     Tooling, stamping, embossing items in leather make useful items beautiful.  When you dictate a custom design, or color, or specific leather – it also becomes unique.  Uniquely yours!

I gained an interest in leatherwork from my grandfather at a young age. Over the years I made gifts for his children and family members.   In 2018 I formed DM Custom Leather LLC so I could spend more time making leather goods and sharing them with a wider audience.   I love to customize products to meet my customer wants and interests.  Contact me with your idea – I find my favorite products come about when I collaborate with customers and incorporate their ideas with some of my own.

Most bags can be customized with your photo, or a design that fits you!  Use the contact section to describe what you would like and David will contact you with ideas on how that can be incorporated to build you a product that is uniquely you.
