About The Company

Handmade by us

Having been around since 1995 (known as Homestead Heirlooms), we are proud to be your USA leather handle supplier.

Our family business supports the fiber and weaving industry by attending and being active members at many guilds. We travel the country throughout the year to attend fiber shows and conventions from Colorado to New York.

We invite you to browse through our inventory and contact us with any questions.

Since we cut our straps in house, the possibilities are endless. The listings you see here are our standard and most popular handles, if you need an item custom created please contact us!

It's more than a team, it's family

Two generations and counting
