Where Craftsmanship Meets Opportunity
When customers walk into your store, they’re not just looking for products, they’re looking for meaning. At Arbor Trading Post, every piece we make carries the mark of true craftsmanship and care. We create wholesale handmade leather goods for boutiques and specialty retailers who want to offer items that stand apart from mass-produced accessories.
From our workshop in Ann Arbor, Michigan, we craft wallets, belts, and bags that combine modern design with time-honored leatherworking techniques. Our full-grain, vegetable-tanned leathers develop rich patina over time, creating heirloom pieces customers return for again and again.
When you partner with Arbor Trading Post, you bring the authenticity of American craftsmanship directly to your store shelves.
The Beauty and Integrity of Handmade Leather
There’s something unmistakable about the feel of a piece made by hand. You can see it in the polished edges, smell it in the rich aroma of natural hide, and sense it in the way it ages beautifully over time. Each wallet, belt, and bag tells a story: of the artisan who made it, and of the customer who will make it their own.
Our collections use full-grain vegetable-tanned leather sourced from renowned tanneries in the U.S. and Italy. We preserve the natural texture of the hide to ensure every product is as individual as its future owner.
If your customers appreciate authentic handmade leather products and quality craftsmanship, Arbor Trading Post helps you meet that demand with timeless designs that endure.
