Looking to expand from our humble beginnings in a garage, we grew to fill our sun-drenched 24,000 sq. ft. workshop in SE Portland. We need a lot of space. We design, sample, photograph, cut, sew, market and ship the majority of our products right here in Portland.

Each item is designed by a member of our team, often going through several stages of prototypes that team members try out, and give feedback on in order to constantly improve our designs.

The workshop is ever-changing but we love our 28 ft ceilings, 20 plus handmade workbenches and 560 window panes letting the sunlight in. Among many other changes the exterior is currently being scraped, patched and smoothed for the new paint job that is coming early in 2020.

What makes Portland Leather so unique is our high-quality products coupled with affordable prices. We exclusively source U.S. cowhides and have them tanned to perfection in North America's finest tanneries in Leon, Mexico.  

We use full grain leather, the strongest and most durable leather available, to create stunning products that only get better with age. And we don't play when it comes to our sewing machines either. Our industrial sewing machines stitch the leather with waxed thread, ensuring quality for years to come.

The majority of our leather goods are designed, cut and sewn in Portland and a new showroom and workshop tours are available starting in March 2020.

We are so grateful for the support from our loyal customers. To help expand our product lines we are proud to have begun partnerships with local leather artisans in Leon who will take new Portland Leather designs and turn our custom leather into products you can treasure for a lifetime.
