"Historical and historically inspired hand crafted leather goods..."

 

RPK Leatherworks is a traditional leather shop founded by leathersmith Ryan Kelly, an avid outdoorsman and Colonial American history enthusiast. Inspired by the craftsmanship of historical trades and old-world techniques, Ryan blends the past with the present, creating both historically accurate leather reproductions and modern pieces that honor tradition.

 

Ryan’s journey began in woodworking before transitioning to leather crafting, a passion that evolved into RPK Leatherworks. What started as a hobby soon grew into a business dedicated to high-quality, handmade leather goods. Each piece is crafted in small batches or as a one-of-a-kind creation, using ethically and sustainably sourced leather.

 

At RPK Leatherworks, every item is designed to stand the test of time—a heritage product made with precision, authenticity, and a deep respect for craftsmanship.
