Leather Conditions was founded in Atlanta, GA in 2020 with one goal in mind: Provide the best leather goods in the game.
Our leather goods are the epitome of quality and handmade craftsmanship. Every wallet that leaves our workshop is meticulously and carefully crafted to the highest of standards, such that it will serve you as an everyday companion and financial organizer. We use leather tanned at Conceria 800 and Conceria La Perla Azzurra in Italy, in addition to Wickett and Craig leather tanned right here in the USA.
We hope you enjoy looking through our catalog and are able to find something that suits your needs. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out to leatherconditions@gmail.com.

Materials:
Natural Vegetable Tanned Leather is hide that has been tanned with tannin found in tree bark and other plant matter, but not dyed or finished in any other way. This makes it age beautifully, and over time, it will develop a beautiful glazed dark finish known as a patina.
Chrome Tanned Leather is the newest tanning treatment, which came about in the early 1900s. It was originally created as a way of quickly producing massive amounts of tanned leather. Chrome tanned leather is tanned with chemicals, acids, and salts. It will not patina as Vegetable tanned leather does, but most chrome tanned leather is very water resistant and very beautiful.
Our Process:
When we say handmade, that is exactly what we mean: Handmade. Every process in the making of our goods is done by hand.
Thread- We use waxed poly-cord thread for all hand stitching. This means that all thread is made up of many smaller pieces of thread that are wound together. Additionally, since the thread is waxed, every stitch locks in as the wax heats up from the friction of stitching. We use a similar thread in our machine sewn products, however, this thread has not been waxed.
Stitching- We use a traditional saddle-stitch on all small goods. This means that every stitch line is a single piece of thread that winds in and out of stitch holes. This is one of the strongest stitching methods there is. All products have stitches 6mm apart. These are very long stitches, but they are also very strong stitches. Many people like the looks of stitches that are 3mm apart, or sometimes less, but the reality is that these stitches are not as strong as 6mm stitches.
We use a sewing machine on most bags. Machine sewn products are just as strong as hand stitched products, if done correctly. We double stitch all major seams on machine sewn items. The beginnings and ends of stitch lines are reverse stitched in order to ensure that the stitch line is properly locked in and it will not come undone.
We have never had a report of a broken stitch.
