About Us (Original)

It all started when I ordered a gorgeous leather business bag. I was excited. It was one of those amazing bags would last forever, and I fully intended to give it to my son when I finished with it 50 years from now. It was indeed beautiful and well-built, but the one I ordered was simply too big and heavy for my purposes. So I sent it back. And I began to wonder…

What if I built my own bag to my specific specifications? The exact size and shape I need to hold my stuff?

Voyageur Leather was born. Soon I was building my own wallets and belts, purses and bags for my wife, and leather jewelry. This led to making jewelry out of semi-precious gemstones and sterling silver. Because what boy doesn’t like rocks? I had wanted a rock polisher since I was kid, and now decades later I finally bought one and polished some rocks. Yes, it was a fun as I imagined it would be. So I added gemstone and pearl jewelry to the lineup, and now Voyageur Leather is a purveyor of high-quality leather goods and jewelry, all using the best materials we can find and striving to provide gorgeous, unique and heirloom-quality products at a fair price.
