About

Let's talk shop for a second. 

I am a Wharton of Whartons. I'm the eldest son in a long line of Wharton men. Though I'm the first leatherworker that I'm aware of, both my father and grandfather are carpenters and craftsmen in their own right. And I am beyond grateful for their wisdom and guidance over the years. 

Being a small business owner is a blessed challenge. I'm blessed to do what I love every single day. And I'm challenged by wearing all the various hats of a small business all of the time! That said, I make every single Wharton Leather item, unless it's a partner product that I carry (like a leather balm made by another crafter) and those are clearly marked. But by and large, if it's on my site it's crafted by yours truly. 

So, thank you for choosing to spend your money locally. Thank you for supporting my small business!
