Hey everyone!
Earlier this week, I made a trip to our new leather factory in the U.S. I’m very excited to have finally met all of the great people we have been working with on the phone and through email. They are located in a small New England town and it is just a beautiful place. Old, colonial-ish homes are situated on every corner. I was immediately drawn in by the romanticism of old, small-town New England.
This is a photo of Scott, the owner and manager, and I in the sewing room.
The factory itself is located at the top of a very picture-esque residential street and, at first glance, seems very small. Once I stepped inside, however, I became aware that this was indeed a fairly size-able and highly skilled workshop.
This workshop also makes leather goods for King Ranch (as you will see in the photos) and also the cushions for the authentic Barcelona Chair. The people in the shop were all amazingly kind and friendly and happy to show us how they do what they do.
Enjoy the photos! We are still waiting on the final prototype of the new design. It will be coming shortly.
