Meet the Maker

Hey! My name is Matthew Brooks Maguire, and I am the Sole Proprietor of Maguire Leatherworks. Originally from Boston, Massachusetts, I am currently based in Seattle, Washington. I started leather working at the beginning of 2018 because I was tired of buying belts, wallets, and journal covers that would wear out and be thrown out within a year. So I learned to make stuff I could trust would last a lifetime.

My goal is to create simple and timeless leather goods that encourage conscious living and intentionality. By using ethically sourced and eco-friendly materials, like vegetable-tanned leathers, and by aiming to minimize waste throughout my production process I hope my work allows customers to embrace a more mindful and sustainable relationship with their belongings. Because I only use top-quality full-grain leathers and make everything by hand, my work is intended to be cherished for years to come and will develop a unique character from every journey you take it on.
