Leather Wallets and Bags Built by Hand to Last a Lifetime
Welcome to Goldthorne Studio.
I’m Trey, and this shop is where my love for leather, careful stitching, and honest materials turns into pieces you can carry every day. What started with a single wallet I made my for myself because I was tired of my wallets wearing out, eventually led me into a full studio practice—and a simple promise: bags and wallets that are handmade, repairable, and meant to stay with you for years—not seasons.
At Goldthorne Studio I design and build handmade leather bags and wallets in my Milwaukee-area studio. I work primarily with quality, ethically-sourced leathers and combine traditional handcraft with modern, precise methods so each piece feels warm and human, but still clean, solid, and dependable.
What you’ll find here
Thoughtful leather goods—wallets, pouches, bags, and everyday carry pieces—made with attention to grain, proportion, and how leather softens and patinas over time. When something is built to be cared for and kept, that idea guides how I choose construction, hardware, and finishes.
Why Etsy
I love connecting with people who care about handmade, local craft, and quality over disposable trends. If you see something you like but need a different size, color, or layout, message me—many pieces can be customized or made to order.
From our studio to your home
Based in southeastern Wisconsin, serving neighbors near Milwaukee and shipping wherever your order needs to go. If you’re unsure about timing or options, ask—I’m happy to help you figure out the best fit.
Thank you for supporting independent leatherwork and for choosing pieces that are made slowly, on purpose, and by hand.
