Hi, I’m Justin, the founder and craftsman behind Amador County Originals. I grew up in a small town nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains, where hard work and creativity were part of daily life. My journey into leatherworking began out of necessity—I needed something better than what I could find and knew I could create it myself. What started as a practical solution quickly became a passion, sparking the creation of Amador County Originals.

Today, I pour that same dedication into every piece I craft, blending rugged functionality with timeless elegance. Each item is made by hand in my workshop, ensuring quality, durability, and a story in every stitch. My goal is to create leather goods that not only serve a purpose but also stand the test of time, becoming a part of your own story.

Thank you for supporting handmade craftsmanship and for being a part of this journey.
