Where It All Began

Our story begins in 2012, when Master Craftsman Robert Davis opened the doors to our Davis shop with a simple mission: to give every leather piece the care and attention it deserves. What started as a small repair shop quickly grew into Yolo County's premier destination for leather restoration.

Coming from a family of saddle makers and leather artisans, Robert brought techniques passed down through three generations. He believed that damaged leather shouldn't mean replacement—that with the right skills and patience, almost anything could be restored to its former glory.

Today, that same passion for craftsmanship guides everything we do. We've expanded, added new specialists, and invested in the latest restoration technology—but our commitment to quality remains unchanged. Every item that comes through our doors gets the same careful attention that Robert gave that first jacket.

Our Mission

To extend the life of every leather piece that comes into our care, preserving memories and protecting investments through exceptional craftsmanship and sustainable restoration practices.

Why Restoration Matters

In a world of disposable goods, we believe in the value of restoration. Every leather item carries a story—from the business executive's worn briefcase to the family heirloom jacket passed down through generations.

Choosing restoration over replacement isn't just economical—it's environmentally responsible. By restoring your leather, you're reducing waste, supporting sustainable practices, and keeping quality goods in circulation.

Our customers tell us there's also something deeply satisfying about seeing a beloved piece restored to its original beauty. That moment when worn leather transforms into something vibrant again—that's what drives us every day.
