The maker behind the work

Huasna Valley Leathercraft is the work of Bobby French, a hands-on maker on California's Central Coast. The name comes from the Huasna Valley, just outside Arroyo Grande in San Luis Obispo County.

Bobby designs, cuts, tools and hand-stitches every piece himself. He works in vegetable-tanned leather, including Wickett & Craig, and pebbled calfskin, with waxed linings and solid brass hardware.

Wallets, bags, belts, watch bands and custom tooled pieces all come off the same bench, and custom orders are always open.
