The Price of Authenticity: Why We Won't Compromise on Quality
The leather industry is facing a perfect storm. Raw hide prices have climbed steadily over the past two years, driven by reduced cattle herds and increased global demand. Solid brass hardware—the kind that won't tarnish, corrode, or fail when your horse pulls back—has seen similar increases as commodity markets fluctuate and quality suppliers become harder to find.
