Handcrafted with Love: Jay and Lewis’ Story of Timeless Leather Craftsmanship:A Journey to Find Our Leather Family.

At Jay and Lewis, we’re more than a family-run business—

Jay and Lewis

we’re a team driven by a passion for creating exceptional leather goods that tell a story. For months, we searched tirelessly to find artisans who share our heart and soul for quality craftsmanship. After countless days, weeks, and moments of hope, we found our leather family—a multi-generational team whose dedication and love for leather shine in every piece they create. We’re thrilled to share their story and the artistry behind our timeless products.

A Journey to Find Our Leather Family.

Our journey began with a simple goal: to partner with artisans who treat leather not as a product, but as a work of art. We wanted craftsmen who pour love and dedication into every stitch, who value quality over speed, and who share our commitment to sustainability. After months of searching, we found exactly what we were looking for—a family-run business with decades of expertise, renowned for their unparalleled workmanship. They welcomed us into their world, and we’ve become more than partners; we’re a family united by a love for leather and a drive to create the best.

Sourcing the Finest Leather from Kanpur and Beyond.

The foundation of our products lies in the leather itself. Our artisans source only the finest handpicked full-grain and top-grain buffalo, cow, goat, and sheep leather from world-class tanneries in Kanpur and other renowned regions. Each piece is carefully selected to match the needs of our products, ensuring exceptional quality and durability. Kanpur, a hub of leather craftsmanship, is known for its rich heritage and meticulous standards, and our artisans work with the best tanneries to bring us leather that’s built to last with timeless appeal.

The of Vegetable-Tanned Leather.

What makes our leather truly special is the artisans’ commitment to eco-friendly vegetable tanning. Using natural plant tannins like oak and chestnut, they create sustainable leather that’s kind to the planet. This time-honored process avoids harsh chemicals, resulting in durable leather that develops a rich, unique patina over time—a mark of true craftsmanship. Every piece is meticulously waxed, polished, and drum-dyed, transforming the leather into a canvas for artistry. It’s a process that takes patience and skill, but the result is leather that tells a story and ages beautifully.

Crafting Timeless Pieces with Love and Dedication.

Our artisans don’t just make leather goods; they create timeless works of art. They embrace time-consuming techniques that others bypass due to time, price, or skill, prioritizing the highest quality over quick, cheap alternatives. You can see their expertise in the folded and tucked edging on our bags, giving each one a refined, elegant finish, or the smooth, rounded edging on our collars and leads, crafted for flawless style. Every wallet, bag, collar, and lead is handcrafted—never mass-produced—using our unique designs. Their years of family knowledge in cutting, dyeing, and creating ensure each piece is infused with love and dedication, adding value and class to every item.

A Multi-Generational Legacy of Craftsmanship

What makes this partnership so special is the family behind it. We connect daily with these incredible artisans, meeting their talented children who share their parents’ passion for leather. It’s heartwarming to see the next generation learning the craft, carrying forward a legacy built on decades of expertise. We hope one day these young artisans will join the business, continuing to create with the same love and skill. This multi-generational bond inspires us, reminding us that true craftsmanship is a tradition passed down with care.

A Collaboration of Passion and Innovation.

At Jay and Lewis, we believe in collaboration. We work closely with our artisans, exchanging endless ideas to blend their time-honored techniques with our vision. They bring our unique designs to life, ensuring every piece is a reflection of our shared passion. This partnership allows us to create innovative, enduring designs that stand the test of time. And because our artisans are committed to fair pricing, we can offer you premium leather goods at affordable prices—luxury without the hefty price tag.
