Hello my fellow leather enthusiasts! I was wondering if anyone uses a more refined, distinguished or unique title for what we do as leather crafters or workers.

Hello, I run a well known automotive aftermarket parts company that has been in business for 6 years. I am looking to hire someone to create wrist bands, shift knob covers, and other misc leather car accessories. On average, we need about 20 misc small accessories made per week. I want to use high end leather this time around like horween and exotic skins for a new line we are creating. We also want to eventually venture out and make men's bags and accessories. We are based in the US. Location doesn't matter as we can arrange shipping but being in the north east definitely will help. Please email agimjones@gmail.com
