I AM THE DESIGNER AND MAKER OF EVERYDAY ACCESSORIES WITH AN INTEREST IN LEATHER AND THE TEXTILE WORLD! I STRIVE FOR QUALITY PRODUCTS BUILT TO LAST WITH EACH PIECE HAND-MADE IN DULUTH, MINNESOTA. I LOVE THE CONTRAST BETWEEN LEATHER AND TEXTILES. I ENJOY THE LOOK OF AGED LEATHER DISTRESSED BY TIME FROM THE WEAR AND TEAR OF EVERYDAY USE. EACH BOLT WEST PIECE FEATURES 100% USA GENUINE LEATHER. I SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESSES AND FIND VALUE IN SLOWER PRODUCTION OF GOODS, FAIR WAGES, MINIMIZING WASTE, AND BEING TRANSPARENT. I WANT BOLT WEST CUSTOMERS TO BE AWARE THAT YOU'RE NOT ONLY BUYING A HANDBAG OR WALLET, YOU'RE PURCHASING AN ITEM THAT HAS BEEN MADE WITH DILIGENCE AND MADE TO LAST.
ALL LEATHER PIECES ARE 100% GENUINE LEATHER, HAND CUT AND SEWN BY ME. I USE A SADDLE STITCH TECHNIQUE USING HEAVY-DUTY WAXED NYLON THREAD FOR STRENGTH AND STABILITY. I TRULY ENJOY WORKING WITH LEATHER AND COMBINING BEAUTIFUL TEXTILES, CREATING DIFFERENT PIECES EACH TIME.
