Ashland Leather Co.

Retail Luxury Goods and JewelryIllinois, United States2-10 Employees

Ashland Leather Co. is a small Chicago-based maker of wallets and other small leather goods that uses Horween leather to emphasize durability. The company operates in the retail luxury goods and jewelry sector and was founded by Dan Cordova and Phil Kalas, two longtime tannery workers who collaborate with leatherworker Laura Roselle to produce limited-run items in Chicago. The founders split their time between work at Horween Leather and crafting goods in their workshop, applying extensive tannery know-how to each piece.

All materials are sourced from Horween Leather Company, located in Chicago’s Bucktown neighborhood, and every product is manufactured in Chicago, Illinois. The business centers on simple, minimalist designs that showcase the leather's quality while prioritizing longevity. To support that promise, Ashland Leather Co. offers a lifetime guarantee: repairs or replacements are provided if a wallet tears or stitching comes undone.
