OUR STORY
A kids dream.
Nate (our founder) started leathercraft when he was just 13 years old. He fell in love with designing and creating products with unique function and lifetime durability. Throughout high school he continued to refine his craft and began selling to friends and family. Eventually, he opened an Etsy shop where he could share his craftsmanship with the world. It wasn't an overnight success, but over the course of 1.5 years (while working construction full time), the Lost Dutchman Leather brand began to grow. He went full-time in 2020, and (long story short) we are now a team of 6 and have shipped over 60,000 orders.
Our Mission
We're sick of stuff that doesn't last.
Instead of wearing in, most stuff wears out. We're changing that.
We make stuff for people who appreciate quality. People who won't settle for a mediocre product and who want to stand out in a world of disposable fashion and mass-production. You understand that craftsmanship is worth supporting, and we're fervently committed to providing it.
Stop settling for products that will let you down in the long run. It's high time you experienced TRUE American craftsmanship.
