Studio Cluiss

I started working with leather at age 16, (5 years ago) after seeing a simple leather wallet on Instagram. Eager to learn, I watched countless YouTube videos, read internet forums, and learned a lot through trial and error. I eventually started selling my work to family and friends, and used the funds to purchase more tools and materials.

I have since then taken courses from leather masters to improve my craft, and I am currently studying Fashion Marketing at Dallas College. I have learned a lot both from college and online leather courses. I strongly believe in "self-education" and the pursuit of knowlege.

-

My passion is creating beautiful leather items for my clients, and running/growing my business.

All of my products are meticuously crafted, with an attention to detail that results in premium and long lasting products. I am proud of each and every piece that leaves my workshop, and I have utmost confidence in my strict quality control standards.

-

I frequently work with exotic leathers, such as python, ostrich, lizard, etc. for clients that desire something more unique.

My goal is to bring back American Manufacturing. I make all the products in my Dallas workshop, taking pride in my work. I believe in the American Dream, and the value of craftsmanship.

My 10 year goal is to establish a larger scale studio, employing Texans in the manufacturing of high end, quality leather goods.
