RE-CONNECTING TO HANDMADE
In a world where everything is a click away, handmade is where I find appreciation. Leather is my happy place.This material is versatile, durable, organic and extremely strong.

Leather at Eric James is 100% hand stitched. This means every stitch you see, we have sewn by hand, no machines involved.

I am a dad to three boys, married to a wonderful woman who collaborates in the designs of my creations.
The art of creating began while growing up and learning from my Dad and Papa, since they created so many things themselves. From an early age I watched them create things out of love of giving and sharing, and I later I found myself in the process with them too. That led into wood working and IT, which allowed me to see how many different things are created or made. Learning assembly took me to individually take those skills into finding crafting and applying it to leather. My passion truly grew into something I feel proud of.
​
After my day to day work life, working with leather is my go-to, my happy place, where exploring creativity takes the space and it becomes art and enjoyment.
Seeing leather as a canvas is seeing potential in a raw product and being able to transform it into a quality product that can stand the test of time. Lasting for our future generations.
