Leather Works Minnesota – located in Saint Paul – has always striven to “bring back American Made” in an era of mass outsourcing. Commitment to their craft, hard work and their artisan leather dry goods have caught the eye of many throughout the Midwest – as well as the world – while ever solidifying Leather Works Minnesota’s primary mission.
In our exclusive Twitter interview with Nathan Oma of Leather Works Minnesota, we discuss the family-owned company’s humble beginnings, their current production, what they love about Saint Paul and more.
Twitter Interview with @LeatherWorksMN
@ModernMidwest Leather Works Minnesota began in 1999 in my parents basement in St. Paul Park, MN.

@ModernMidwest At that time, my dad Kent was making mostly purses and promotional items such as key rings, bookmarks, etc.

@ModernMidwest Today we counted about 40 items! It has been an amazing journey of growth, especially over these last 5 years.

@ModernMidwest Our most popular item is most likely a tie between our Dad’s Bifold and our Classic Belt. That’s a hard one to call.
