ABOUT RICHARD

Made to order custom leatherwork.

Based out of Kansas, I am delighted to provide you with outstanding custom leatherwork made to your specifications.

My production process is second to none, and every attention to detail is addressed.  I design and produce every single product that leaves my shop from beginning to end.

All of my work is hand cut, sewn, and molded from the highest quality full grain domestic leather hides and materials available.

My clients are from all over the world.

Madri Leatherworks designs and products have been sold all over the USA, Australia, and Europe.

How I got started in custom leatherwork.

Back in 1998, I found myself tired from the day to day grind, and needed something new. I have always enjoyed working with my hands, and had been studying the old west cowboys.

One day I stopped into the Tandy Leather store hoping to find something I could do with my hands, and that had to do with the old west. This started my journey working with leather and making cowboy gear.

On my first trip, I picked up enough leather and tools to make my first set of cowboy cuffs. I left them on display at a cowboy equipment store to be sold on consignment. And, what do you know – they sold! The store owner took several pairs on consignment, and sold those as well. The rest, as they say, is history.

In 2002, I retired, and was able to turn my part-time hobby into an everyday experience.
