A delayed announcement—but good news is always worth sharing.

On March 13, 2018, we officially marked 8 years as leather artisans… and completely forgot to celebrate.

So, better late than never.

To everyone who’s been part of this journey—thank you! The support of all the Lambert Families has been wonderful! Special mentions go out to Mom, Sarah, the shop kids, Bobby, Robnar the Viking King, the Rams Head crew, The Pirate Crew of the Silver Moon, Knights of the New Order, Neil the Natural Viking, The HollyGroveMercs, The Rogues, Watchcat the Warrior (Daisy)—and so many others who’ve supported us along the way.

We wouldn’t be here without you!

Over the past eight years, we’ve grown from working off tiny foldable tables to becoming well-established resident artists at the Michigan Renaissance Festival and having our own studio space.

From 2018 to 2022, we lived on the road—hauling belts, buckles, and keychains to small venues wherever we could, especially as the world reopened after quarantine.

From 2023 to 2025, things expanded quickly. What started small has grown into a Great Lakes–sized operation, with a strong network of business-to-business partnerships. Today, we offer more than 40 handcrafted leather products, all made from top- or full-grain vegetable-tanned leather.

And we’re not done yet.

We’re preparing to fill our downtown Durand location with our goods once renovations are complete. While there is no firm timeline for opening at 203 W. Main Street, keep an eye out this season for a bit of meaningful change at our studio....

Thank you for being part of the story. We are looking forward to the next chapter.

Fresh from the bench and still smelling like honest work — a new batch of pouches has just been brought to life.

Each one is hand-cut, hand-stitched, and steeped in a bit of Celtic soul and Renaissance flair. Built to hold your daily essentials… or whatever treasures you happen to acquire along your travels (we don’t ask questions).

We’re giving our Facebook patrons first pick before these find their way onto the website. So if one of these speaks to you, best grab it before it wanders off into someone else’s belt loop.

Fair warning: these pouches age better than most people and develop more character with every adventure.

Claim yours while the leather is still young and the stock is still full.
