Meet the maker.
They call me Pete.
I reside in Kitsilano, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
It all started with a belt.
In 2022, I was looking for a ‘tough’ new belt that would last me at least a quarter century. Once I realized what that single belt would cost, I decided to take a class and learn how to make some belts for myself. Immediately the design and construction process suited me. I found more levels of patience and attention in my life, while relieving the stress of my 9 to 5.
Since the start, I have been travelling across North America and have met many fellow leatherworkers, taking classes and asking questions. I find the people in this industry are extremely accessible and kind.
Best thing is, I am learning every day. Crafting leather goods is truly rewarding.
