The Story of Homestead Leather
Hand crafted in East Petersburg, just outside of Lancaster PA, I design and produce leather bags, belts, accessories and checkbooks to last decades, using the best quality leather and hardware available. My products are available in store and online. I also do custom work and repairs. Feel free to contact me. Call, text, email or stop in and I will be happy to help you out!
LIFETIME GUARANTEE: Because I care about quality, I guarantee everything I make for life against defects in materials and workmanship. If it fails and it's my fault, I'll fix it for free.
I grew up around the leather craft business. My dad and uncle got their start in leather back in the 1960's. Through the years, they made all kinds of things in leather and had retail stores as well. When I was young, my dad stepped away from the retail business and focused on his own craft, taking us to fine art and craft shows all over the country. I worked in my dad's shop as a boy stuffing bags, setting rivets, painting the building and even one summer digging out the basement!
After many years serving as a US Army paratrooper, I decided to start my own leather craft business. With a few machines my dad graciously gave me and some money I had saved, I started Homestead Leather LLC on the old family farm, where seven generations of our family had lived for over one hundred fifty years.
Today, my shop is co-located with my dad's business, MacClay Leather Design. You can see his work at MacClayLeather.com.

I strive for excellence in my work. I use the best quality materials I can find; I do not believe in cutting corners by using cheap leather or hardware. I use the best quality leathers I can get, solid brass hardware, strong nylon thread, and durable nylon lining. Because I care about the quality of my work, I guarantee everything I make for life against defects in materials and workmanship. With proper care, my products will last decades.
