Hi there I’m Caleb Ward.
For the past 35 years, I’ve been handcrafting leather goods with quiet dedication pouring heart, patience, and purpose into every piece.

Every bag, wallet, and accessory tells a story. One built from carefully chosen materials, stitched with intention, and shaped to last a lifetime.

My small workshop has been my second home a place where every cut is made by hand, and every detail is given the time it deserves.

Thank you for being part of the journey.

Caleb Ward
