5 out of 5 starsSuch exquisite craftsmanship, thanks so much Dave! I LOVE my new bag, if I hadn’t bought new boots locally I would have bought them from you. Will definitely revisit this store in the future.

5 out of 5 starsThis bag is just what I was hoping for. It will carry a large iPhone, plus other essentials. The leather is beautiful. Speedy delivery, too. Thank you!

5 out of 5 starsThis purse is absolutely perfect! It was created just like I imagined it, and the smaller size is perfect as a crossbody when I don't want to carry my bigger bag. I love the three colors, the size, and the way this bag is constructed. It will be used frequently, and the natural asymetrical flap of the bag gives it s charming boho vibe! 10 Stars!

5 out of 5 starsThe smell of the leather, craftmanship, speed of delivery, packaging, and customer service have led to a most wonderful Etsy transaction. If you are considering this gorgeous hip belt for yourself, you will not be disappointed! This investment will last a lifetime andwill be used frequently. 10 stars to Dave and his shop!

Formerly Elf Mountain, The Leather Vine is the new store for the same quality leather goods.
About The Leather Vine
The Leather Vine is a small handcrafted leather art studio conceived from the heart. I love to create handmade leather products that resonate harmoniously with nature, and I’ve been doing it for over 23 years. I am constantly dreaming up new ideas and making people’s visions come to life. Quality built leather goods do come to life, and they get better the more you use them, these leather goods are built to last for your lifetime (with proper leather conditioning). I enjoy making useful items with meaningful artwork, that people can have for a long time.
My Leather Working Philosophy
Leather is functional, wild and beautiful. Because of my profound appreciation for leather and the cow that it came from, I feel responsibility to make the best possible product from the leather. When I see a beautiful piece of leather, I allow it to lead me to the product it is destined to be. I keep my designs simple, showcasing the natural beauty of the leather, and strong, so you can enjoy them at their prime of character and patina.
Moccasins
Leather is the best material for shoes because it breathes, it conforms to your foot, and with proper treatment it can last a lifetime. I build moccasins because they are not rigid like other shoes; they allow you to use all the muscles of your foot so you can walk and stand as if you are barefoot. These moccasins are light in weight and move with your body like a second skin. I use high quality soft, thick leather for comfort and durability. To make the best walking shoes in the world, I use a thin rubber sole that provides necessary traction, just the right amount of cushion, and added durability, while still allowing you to feel the earth. Moccasins can be ordered in a variety of colors including black, milk chocolate, olive green, and caramel.
