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 quality.
I'M NATE
I'm the founder and head craftsman behind Lost Dutchman Leather.
I was born in Ohio but have been living in the Mesa, Arizona area since 2017. Leathercraft started as a hobby for me as a young teen and I fell in love with it. I spent countless hours refining the techniques involved in the crafting process, and in 2016 I opened an Etsy shop.
People began supporting my work, and I kept making, and here we are!
I absolutely love what I do and I am so thankful to those who support us and our mission.
The furry guy is Boone, and he's the one who actually runs this operation.
THE TEAM
Meet Ben, Nate, and Olivia.
Ben (second from left) joined us in the summer of 2022, and since then has learned, and mastered, every part of the production process. He has an interest in photography and has contributed to our content production as well.
Nate 2.0 (far right) joined the team mid-2023, and has been developing his skill set rapidly since then. He is a master stitcher and can fly through a stack of wallets faster than you'd believe.
Olivia (far left), is the newest addition to the LDL team. She joined us in June of 2024 as head of customer service. She does an incredible job taking care of customers in a warm and helpful way.
Each of our team is an essential piece of who we are as an organization, and the work they do is vital to driving our mission forward.
