Leather Product Production Companies

[Workinman]

Does anyone know how I might find a company here in the US that I can get to mass produce a leather product for me ?

I don't need this right now, but hope to soon.

Thank you for your helpful reply.  I'm actually talking to them right now about some of their leather products.  Didn't even know they do custom production.

 

Appreciate the help !

Just for everyone's information and accuracy's sake, ALD's production is done in Mexico not USA. 

That surprises me. I was under the impression when briefly speaking to them that it was done in America. I know their leather is chahin which is from a Mexican tannery.

"Made in the USA", "Made in North America" and "Made in America" is not the same.

America does not necessarily mean the USA. Mexico is a part of North America too. Made in America also "could" mean Made in South America. I would not consider this as wrong when someone says: "This product is made in America" when it comes from South America.

I know "usually" one would expect that made in America means made in USA but..  well... think about it. Sometimes you have to read between the lines.

I don't think this is strictly true.  The part about South America listing something as "American Made".  If they began doing that, I'm certain that the Federal Trade Commission would intervene.  I did a google search for 'Made in America' and everything that came up that I read leads to this conclusion.  In fact, most of the time it is explicitly stated or strongly implied that 'Made in America' is equal to 'Made in the U.S.'.  

If a country such as Brazil tried to export product to the U.S. that had labels that read 'Made in America', they would be refused at the port.

The 1988 movie 'Coming to America' starring Eddie Murphy meant the U.S.  The Neil Diamond song of the same name wasn't talking about Colombia.  It is generally understood when you say America, you mean the U.S.A.

Perhaps South American or Central American countries could label their product 'Made in America' and ship to Germany, but I doubt that too.

It may be your point of view or maybe a common opinion but geographical it is not the way you think. That is at least my point of view.

Made in Europe is not the same as Made in the European Union! I think no one would question that so why should Made in America be considered to be the same as Made in the USA?

I know we (EU folks) often say "the Americans" and mean the people of the United States of America. And I`m sure in the USA you say "the Europeans" and mean the people of the European Union. That is because it is "a common phrase" which has ben kind of naturalized over the years or decades but is geographical incorrect. America is more than just the USA and Europe is more than just the European Union.

40 years ago Germany was not just West Germany, the GDR (East Germany) also was a part of the post war German country - even though there were 2 independent states the BRD (FRG) and the DDR (GDR) but both were German countries and part of Germany.

Canada is also an (North) American state but obviously not part of the USA. Mexico is also an American state and belongs to North America - just as Canada.

However - I get what you mean - Trump for sure wanted to make the "USA" great again and not Mexico

But when someone wants to make a clear statement that certain (or his own) products are made in the USA he would / should label them as "Made in the USA" otherwise it is not really obvious - from my point of view. When you look on labels of USA made garments I´m sure they state "Made in the USA" and not Made in America. So why should it be different in other trades?

we tend to be a little USA centric here with the term.

Agree
