Shopping online is not easy...

Buying leather goods can feel like a risk. Especially if it's your first time with a brand.

You can’t feel the texture, accurately see the color, or understand the weight and structure of the material through a screen. And when you’re investing in a quality leather piece, those details matter.

If you’ve ever tried to choose leather online, you know how difficult it is to judge true leather quality, color, and craftsmanship from photos alone.

Enter: The 1974 Personalized Leather Experience

A way for anyone within the continental USA to see what my work is all about, the artistry, the leather, etc... before you buy a finished piece.

This is not a generic leather sample kit. Each experience includes personalized leather samples curated specifically for you...based on the pieces you’re considering.

It’s a more intentional way to experience leather before you buy.
