RockyWolf Report post Posted March 11, 2008 Some help needed from the USA if anyone could help this guy out from a post on Standingbears forum:: Does anyone know where we can find a Leather working factory? We are looking for a very small domestic factory to produce small quantities of very high end leather goods ( Wallets, Bags, Belts, Cigar Cases,...). Person or company must have impeccable attention to detail and ability to make most any type of leather item from our drawings. If there is a list or other website we can visit please let me know http://standingbears.proboards102.com/inde...&thread=162 They are from Florida but open to anyone in the US http://standingbears.proboards102.com/index.cgi?board=questions&action=display&thread=162 Thanks for any help you could give them Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Art Report post Posted March 11, 2008 Hi Dave, Weaver has a pretty decent factory. Might have to do a little handholding to get them started, if they want the work.

David Genadek Report post Posted March 12, 2008 They haven't mentioned what they mean by small quanity so I would question if they really need a factory. I wouldn't consider Weaver high end. Low to middle but no where near high end. Getting Amish to do really high end work is near impossible. There again everyone says they want high end so what do they really mean? If they say factory it either means they are looking a for a good price or a bit of volumn. They also haven't said anything about the type of leather or if they are wanting tooling and if they want tooling do they want it done by hand or do they want to invest in plates? The other red flag I would see here is they want you to build from their drawings. That would get me asking what kind of experience do they really have with leather and how open will they be about how things need to be done. Do they have any concept of how to design for leather production? The lack of detail in their request would lead me to tell anyone who wants to bite at this to proceed with caution. If they knew the business they wouldn't need to get on a list to ask. David Genadek Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
