Holiday Gift Ideas from Blackthorn Leather

Southern California Craftsmanship Leather

We are proud to be able to offer the leather craftsmanship of Blackthorn Leather. Master Leather Craftsman Andy is a one man army who physically produces every single item offered up by Blackthorn Leather, and is available here at YUP GEAR (yupgear.com).

Let’s share a little about what he has to offer.

Blackthorn Leather

First off, Blackthorn Leather has its own dedicated website. It is www.blackthornleather.com. It is a great website and has so much to offer you just wont believe it. Please go and check them out and support them in any way you can.

Is it customary to have a retail website blog instantly direct you to go to another website to possibly buy something that they too are selling? Well….no. But for us, this is totally OK. Anything we can do to help Blackthorn Leather and its business success will be done by YUP GEAR because they are good people and a family company. It is just that simple.

I want you to know more about Blackthorn Leather. To speed up this writing process, I went straight to the source (that website I mentioned earlier). I selected some words with my mouse, I hit “copy”, and them I came back to this blog and hit “paste”. Here is what those words were.

“I started Blackthorn Leather a little over ten years ago. Back then it was a way for me to unplug literally and mentally from my day job (graphic design) and focus on a completely raw, analog creative outlet and work with my hands. After all these years it’s still a passion of mine and I look forward to spending my day creating quality products for you.

Blackthorn Leather goods are made in an old world inspired style that look as if they have a lifetime of stories to tell.

All Blackthorn Leather bags, wallets and accessories are made from high quality leathers, durable hardware, and built to last. A lot of care goes into every piece, often with hand stitched details, for a truly great finish.

We are located just outside Los Angeles, California in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains. Coyotes, skunks, and raccoons often swing by to see what’s doing around the shop. (Okay, not really but they do make an appearance on occasion.)” [SOURCE is here: https://blackthornleather.com/pages/about-us ]

Again, I have sent you away to another page, and I only have faith in you to return.

Every item is made in the USA

These items are all special and are made with pride. These items are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what is available to choose from. Speaking as a customer I have found that EVERY item I have from Blackthorn is used regularly, and the quality is superb. It lasts, take a beating, and grows with character as it ages. Each item turn into my own little buddy with its own little personality that has a shared history with me. As ridiculous as that sounds it is true. Somehow I have begun to have a relationship with this different items because they bring me so much joy.

Again, to straight up steal from the Blackthorn Leather website:
