Nearly Dead Leather Workshop is more than a family business it’s a labour of love, resilience, and hope for the future. Every piece we create is handmade with care, right here in our small family workshop.

We’re building this business not just for ourselves, but for our teenage daughter, who lives with ankylosing spondylitis, a chronic condition that can make everyday life challenging. Our dream is to create a future where she can be part of something meaningful, a space where her creativity and strength can shine, and where work is built around her abilities, not her limitations.

 

Every order helps us move closer to that goal. When you support Nearly Dead Leather, you’re not just buying leather goods, you are helping a family build a future filled with craftsmanship, independence.

​

"never released how poorly made my really expensive old belt was, until I bought one of these, chalk and cheese the weight of these alone tells you how good they are"
