My Story

Swing Bridge Leather Works was born from the quest for the perfect notebook cover. Like an increasing number of people, I prefer the analog experience over the digital. Consequently, I've carried a notebook in my pocket every day since my undergraduate days. It's a download of my brain, capturing my thoughts, tasks, and essentially anything an average person would store on their phone goes into that notebook. I've always wanted a leather notebook cover and must have purchased 15 over the years. They were too big or too small, too thick, or too cheaply made. One day, I decided to make my own, and it turned out well. I then went on to create wallets, watch bands, mouse pads, messenger bags, trays, and more. When I finally ran out of things to make for myself and my family, I opened this shop. I am grateful to all of my customers who have supported and encouraged me.
