In Brooklyn, an artist and furniture maker grew weary of constantly switching between work boots and dress shoes. This simple frustration sparked a quest for one pair of boots that could transition seamlessly from workshop to evening, which meant finding the right natural care product.
After searching unsuccessfully for petroleum-free, truly natural leather care that wouldn't over-saturate, the craftsperson began experimenting. Working with eager Brooklynite focus groups over more than a year, they perfected formulas using locally sourced ingredients from small family farms.
Today, this small company continues handmaking products in small batches, prioritizing natural and sustainable ingredients in everything from formulations to packaging. Their mission remains rooted in supporting local farming practices while creating the highest quality artisanal goods possible.
