It really did all start with that cell phone case. And what began as a quest to create a rugged, attractive cell phone holster for myself has evolved into a passion for creating beautiful, one-of-a-kind leather goods for other people. Many of the designs are entirely my own, born out of a specific need that I have; others are my own spin on things I’ve seen elsewhere. But, whether the designs are original or borrowed, the craftsmanship is all me. I select the materials, cut out the pieces, tool the designs, dye the leather, and stitch together the final product entirely by hand, entirely by me. So when you buy a wallet or a purse or even a keychain from Ben Rhodes Handcrafted Leather Goods, you’re getting piece that is meticulously designed and crafted.
