About SKG Leather

Hi there, I'm Sarah Katharine Green, the sole craftsman and producer of SKG Leather. Every piece in this collection is designed, hand-laced, hand-cut, hand-branded, and hand-riveted by me. RESPECT FOR THE CRAFTSMAN • As a craftsman, I honor centuries of tradition in leatherwork and hand-stitching. I work slowly, employing time-honored techniques used by craftsmen for over 100,000 years. It is a gratifying, time-consuming process that creates softly-structured, versatile, and nearly indestructible pieces. RESPECT FOR THE CUSTOMER • I prototype and test my products extensively, in a constant effort to distill the absolute best features and construction. The product must be beautiful, but it is even more important to me that it functions well for my customer. As I design and create each piece, my intention is that its owner will be able to use it for years, in any weather or scenario, while devoting as little concern as possible to the care of the product. Show this leather some good, tough love, and it will love you back! RESPECT FOR THE ANIMAL • I use only US-tanned leather because of environmental and humane treatment standards in the US. Additionally, in most of my work, all parts within a piece are made from the hide of a single animal: front and back, lacing, strap, etc. I do this so that the color is consistent throughout the piece, but also as a grateful acknowledgement to the animal.Read their story
