North Star Leather Company

Stephen Batson, owner of North Star Leather, a small leather company in rural South Carolina informed us of some interesting information regarding leather products. After 40 years in the business, “making quality leather goods in the USA since 1969,” Stephen Batson’s industry is under attack from foreign markets. “Now over 80% of leather consumer goods are made in developing countries. Even ‘American’ companies,” says Batson, “like Coach are doing most of their manufacturing overseas.”

With a workforce of only 10 employees, Batson is fighting the hard fight against foreign invasion of goods, the very same goods he has produced on American soil for so many years of his life. With the hands of true American craftsmen, his business crafts more than 150 products and guarantees them for as long as you own them - and that is confidence in their craft. These items include everything from Leather Handbags & Purses to Leather ID Cases, Money Clips, Hats & Caps. In addition, the Military and Police trust in his products to secure many of their daily utilities.
