FASHION FOLIO:
How did the concept of Stitched Leather come about?
We have always sought unique and exciting ways to express ourselves – and our footwear and leather goods came about in a similar fashion, meeting and knowing many who were looking for unique and expressive new shoes, and bags for daily wear – and for those special events. And so, the adventure began.
And why did you choose the name "Stitched Leather"?
Our brand focuses on quality material and construction. We wanted something simple, and something easy to remember. A simple name like Stitched Leather helps us illustrate our goals of providing primarily handmade, top-tier leather goods that showcase a fully stitched construction.
Do you have a mission statement?
You bet we do! Stitched Leather is dedicated to crafting exceptional custom leather shoes that celebrate individuality, quality, and timeless style. Our mission is to empower our customers to express their unique personalities and aspirations through the artistry of bespoke footwear.
Let’s go a little deeper … here’s what we’re committed to at Stiched Leather:
Celebrate Uniqueness: Our custom leather shoes are designed to reflect the distinct character, preferences, and dreams of each customer. We are committed to helping our clients stand out from the crowd.

Encourage Sustainability: We recognize our responsibility to the environment and future generations. We are committed to minimizing our ecological footprint by using eco-friendly leather production methods, reducing waste, and continually seeking sustainable solutions in every aspect of our operations.
Foster Creativity: We encourage creativity in design, materials, and craftsmanship. We embrace innovation, pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved with leather to create shoes that are not just functional but also works of art. We want to inspire our customers' imaginations.

We strive to provide exceptional customer service, working closely with each client to ensure their unique vision is realized. We believe that our success is measured by the satisfaction and loyalty of those we serve.

At Stitched Leather, we envision a world where custom leather shoes are a canvas for self-expression – where craftsmanship and individuality merge, seamlessly. Our mission is to make this vision a reality, one unique pair of shoes at a time.
“Stitched Leather customers are people who want what they want.”
During the decision-making phase of what products to sell, why did you choose shoes and accessories vs other types of products?
We chose what carries us and what we carry as they are the most important part of the day.
Who are Stitched Leather customers?
Stitched Leather customers are people who want what they want – not what’s already available.

Tell us something about your custom-designed products by customers.
We absolutely love seeing our customer designed products as they are as unique as they are individuals. You can really just see their personality.
What makes your business unique? What sets your company apart from others?
We are primarily driven by our lifestyles and passions. We are a little raw. We’re not afraid to be in a world that thinks it wants to be perfect, instead of being real.
What motivates you?
Helping others reach their goals. There is nothing more fulfilling than helping someone achieve a goal.
What does "success" mean to you?
Success for us means positive impact. How we are positively impacting everyone around us?. We want all walks of life to feel empowered to be expressive… and we support them. We truly celebrate everyone, every step of the way.
Where do you see your business in five years?
Our goal is to keep pressing ourselves in designers and to allow others to define themselves through fashion, individuality and limited run unique products, allowing more and more people to be unique and positively stepping forward.
