Everything I sell is entirely handmade by me. I cut and dye the leather, punch the holes, finish the edges, and apply protectants, all by hand in my workshop. Even my sewing is thread-and-needle by hand in a saddle stitch, which will outlast any machine stitch currently available. You can rest assured that if you own something from Standard & Hand it will last a very long time. And if on the off chance it doesn’t and there is a construction defect, please tell me so I can make it right by either fixing it or making you a replacement.
