Brand’s History
It all started when I ordered a gorgeous leather business bag. I was excited. It was one of those amazing bags that would last forever, and I fully intended to give it to my son when I finished with it 50 years from now. It was indeed beautiful and well-built, but the one I ordered was simply too big and heavy for my purposes. So I sent it back. And I began to wonder…
What if I built my own bag to my specific specifications? The exact size and shape I need to hold my stuff?
Voyageur Leather was born.
Soon I was building my own wallets and belts, purses and bags for my wife, and leather jewelry. I sold a few things here and there, to friends and family and to a couple of local retail stores. I received tons of favorable feedback, but my exceptionally busy life didn’t allow me to really focus on Voyageur as much as I had wanted to.
Making leather bracelets led to making jewelry out of semi-precious gemstones and sterling silver. Because what boy doesn’t like rocks? I had wanted a rock polisher since I was kid, and now decades later I finally bought one and polished some rocks. Yes, it was a fun as I imagined it would be. So I added gemstone jewelry to the product lineup, mostly high quality gemstone bracelets for men.
Then I heard somewhere that women like jewelry too! So I added women’s leather, gemstone and pearl jewelry to the lineup, and now Voyageur Leather is a purveyor of high-quality leather goods and jewelry, all using the best materials we can find and striving to provide gorgeous, unique and heirloom-quality products at a fair price.
Finally I had to make Voyageur a priority or it just wasn’t going to happen. Early in 2018 I began with a plan in mind to launch in time for the 2018 Christmas season. I built a bunch of products, got the website ready to go, and here we are! Making high quality leather goods and jewelry and hopefully providing a little joy and happiness to our customers.
