It all started with two best friends and an obsession with artistry.

George and I (Ethan) have been avid artists ever since high school. We both submitted many different pieces into art competitions back in the day and did well in all of the many different categories that we competed in. We both had a feeling that we might be able to turn our passion into a business one day, but we never knew in what capacity.

Then one day George handed me a product of one of his latest hobbies. (We both tend to pursue hobbies quite fervently). This product was a wallet that we didn’t know would change our lives forever. It wasn’t until five years later that it finally hit me. I looked at this wonderful piece of craftsmanship that still looked in pristine shape and called him up.

It was 1:30 in the morning and trusty George picked up the phone. It was that morning that we decided to create our business. To this day I still carry around that first “Prototype” that he handed me all those years ago. Created from top grain leather that was made to last, that wallet continues to be my “Statement” piece.
