Handmade with Grit
Our leather goods are crafted from real cowhide, right here in Austin, Texas. We handpick the best hides, but let’s be real—this ain’t no sissy leather. Every scar, mark, and wrinkle is part of the animal’s story, adding to the unique character of your piece. We hope you enjoy these one-of-a-kind, handmade goods!
How to keep your leather tip-top
With fast fashion on the rise (and waste piling up), investing in and caring for quality goods matters more than ever. And if treated right, leather can outlive most of us. Here’s a no-nonsense, 1-2-3 strategy for keeping your Espacio Leather Goods in prime shape:
Mind the Stretch
Good leather takes time to break in. Your wallet might feel snug at first—that’s normal. You can stretch it to fit more, but commit to the stretch wisely. Do you really need that library or Petco card every day? Start with your most-used cards and let the leather form around them naturally. You can fit more over time.
Keep It Dry
Our wallets are built tough, but they’re not waterproof. No pool dives, no washing machine cycles, and no unexpected soakings. If you carry your wallet in your pocket during the summer heat, sweat can dry out the leather over time. In that case, a little extra conditioning might be needed to keep it from getting too thirsty.
Condition When Needed
Most of the time, the natural oils from your hands will keep your leather happy. But if your wallet takes an unexpected swim or starts to feel dry, grab a tin of Smith’s Leather Balm—a simple, three-ingredient formula with no synthetic junk. A little conditioning goes a long way in keeping your leather healthy.
This leather is made to last, and so is our stitching. High-quality hides, durable thread, and a rock-solid stitch style mean your Espacio goods are built for the long haul. Follow these care tips, break it in with love, and take it on as many adventures as you can!
A tin of Smith's Leather Balm is great to have on hand to nourish and protect it for the long run.
