Every single product we make is handmade in a workshop located in rural South Dakota.

This workshop is run by Paige, who specializes in custom saddles and specialty leather goods. She is part of a third-generation saddle making business, well known in the region for its artisan work.

In addition to being our sole maker, Paige contributes as a co-designer in all of our products. Her knowledge, direction, insight and extensive experience with leather make her an integral part of the designing process.

Paige and our team are genuine partners who believe in this project, our products and our vision for 1948 Leather.
