Archetype Leather When detail and quality matter choose Archetype. Made one at a time by hand in Chicago. Get in touch Louis.

Archetype is a small one man leather working shop located in Chicago. My goal is to produce the highest quality leather goods made with traditional methods that will last a lifetime. Each item is made one at a time by hand using the finest materials available. I only use leathers from the Horween Tannery here in Chicago and from Hermann Oak in St. I specialize in custom hand tooled and dyed goods including guitar straps, motorcycle seats and a variety of accessories.
