My name Alex. I am own the leather workshop “Darrell Standing”. I make unique leather handmade products with personalization.
Why Darrel Standing? In the blossom of my youth, I liked Jack London’s book «The Star Rover», it left an imprint on my soul. The protagonist of this book's name was Darrell Standing. Read it if you have time.
I love making nice well flavored and beautiful things.
It was 2012. This year I had to say goodbye to another product of a consumer goods manufacturing - a wallet. It simply went out of order. So I organized expedition to shops to find a necessary product. Time passed by, but I still could not find anything…
I had to tackle that problem in another way.
Leather, stitching, tools, patience and desire to get a good and quality thing have done their part. During the first year I received only a few wallets. I thought these were just amazing products then. I smile while looking at them now. And I understand that many things have changed after 7 years of work and thousands of made products.
All products in my store are carved, sewed and manufactured manually by me. This is time-consuming and painstaking process. I do not use sewing machine. I made this 100% by hands using traditional saddle stitching method.
It is important to me to make sure things that I make are well flavored and qualitative. My little daughter Daria is my helper. I hope you like what we do for you!
