Laddie Swan's Leathers
I strive to create unique, custom-order pieces of usable art. I work with leather, wood, metal, and a variety of other materials. Your order will certainly be of heirloom quality, which also makes for an incredible gift.
About Me
I am based near Fort Worth, Texas, and have been here for over twenty years. I was born in Austin and then moved around the great state of Texas (with a short stint in both Georgia and Maryland) for the majority of my childhood. The ranch in Austin was where I felt my roots were planted deepest, though. Now, Fort Worth is a good place to call home.
I am a Christian, an artist, a wife, and a mom. And I am truly grateful for the opportunity to serve you!
Sustainability
Leather and woodwork are my outlet, my hiding place, my art. In this, I wholly embrace custom, made-to-order pieces. By largely creating as need and desire arise, I am not overproducing and adding to the chronic waste that so plagues our global community. I source my materials from as many small businesses as I possibly can, seeking first those individuals and small groups of people who also consider their craft an art.
I strive to make “life-long” goods. When something leaves my shop, I intend it to serve you for as long as you find use for it. After which, my hope is for it to be passed on to bless another’s life. I stand behind my workmanship. To further strengthen my commitment for creating less waste, I pledge to fix any defect in workmanship you might come across. If the item has been damaged, I will attempt to repair it if a repair is possible.
