Need Help With Business Name Ideas!

[DavidL]

I would advise against the word mercantile, as its an outdated word -> giving the idea that your brand is outdated. It is an interesting word but you have to look at it in the eyes of the consumer. Mercantile would work well if you are selling spices or supplies, not leather goods. Only my opinion.

If your doing custom goods like holsters and sheaths and the such using your name is normal. If your end goal is to get it into stores a more universal name would work and also your own name could work, you could go either way, its your choice.

I agree, most people would realize it's a name not a description of your work. Though I'd need to see examples of you work to make a fair call on that. ;-)

"Petty Leather Works" or similar would be good.

"Petty Great Leather" and let the customer fill in the R. :D

Petty's Pocket Leather (pocket because you make wallets and such but that might be too limiting if/when you branch out)(THe point being you add the 's to make it obviously a name rather than an adjective)

Leather By Petty - your initials and logo could incorporate the x that is common now for "by" - LxP

InZayne Leather Goods - Your prices are CRAZY!

I agree with Sheathmaker, using the word custom allows your customer to know that you are willing to do made to order, one-of-a-kind, custom work.

I’m going to ask the same question as another member. I need a leather business name. I do horse tack, bags belts. Please ,any ideas would be sooooooo appreciated.

Im not sure!

Although a tip I can see now? Is to consider how you may want this on a makers mark.  This you might just use company initials or something else partially or the complete name.  

In anycase I liked the requirement of at least a line draw of a design in its future. Not for the paperwork but any visuals you may use. 

Good luck

ps: you can always try any names here for ideas or really to pass the, ya go for it test.

ZP Custom Leather.

Premium Petty Works

Premium Petty Leather

Z. Petty Leather.

@Sattendorn if you just use Sattendorn Leather that would be great. It has a certain classy classical feel. Rolls off the tongue. Say this out loud. Sattendorn Bridle Company. It sounds like it has been around for a long time.

Thanks guys I appreciate your input.( I hope this replies the right way, lol)

@zaynexpettyI was going to suggest "In Zayne Fine Leather Goods," but someone beat me to the idea. (I think your first name is more distinctive/unusual than your last  name.)

@SattendornFor the tack company name, the first thing I thought was "Saddledorn Leather."  It sounds so much like your last name, incorporating part of it, and identifies the kinds of products you make.

[Sattendorn]

Lol, that’s clever!
