Welcome to Harland Handmade: Crafting Heritage into Every Stitch
At Harland Handmade, we breathe life into leather, crafting each piece with passion, dedication, and a commitment to timeless quality. I'm Marcus, the heart and hands behind this endeavor, and my journey into the world of leatherworking began in 2020 as a humble pursuit of creativity. What started with YouTube tutorials and basic tools soon blossomed into a profound love for the craft, driving me to delve deeper into its intricacies.
After a decade of service in the US Navy, where discipline and precision were paramount, I found solace and purpose in the art of leatherworking. In 2021, I embarked on my entrepreneurial journey, founding my first leatherworking company. But it wasn't until 2023, after my military service concluded, that I was privileged to assume ownership of Harland Handmade from its founder, Jacob. His legacy, steeped in a genuine passion for the craft and an unwavering commitment to excellence, laid the foundation upon which I continue to build.
