You’re in for a treat because you’re about to fall in love with the craftsmanship behind Odin Leather Goods. This family-run company right here in the DFW area isn’t just making leather goods; they’re shaping stories you can carry with you every day. From belts to quality bags, every piece has a lasting charm mixed in with a little bit of Texas grit.
What started as a passion project has grown into a full-fledged legacy of craftsmanship, community, and trust. Once you get a glimpse behind the stitching, you’ll see why Odin Leather Goods has fans far beyond Texas.
First, where can we find you and your amazing leather products?
We don’t do many markets or shows these days since we stay so busy, except for a few favorite events like Jingle Bash. Most people can find us online or at one of our two physical stores. Our larger location in Old Town Coppell, which also houses our manufacturing studio, where we make everything. At this store, you’ll find everything we make, along with custom, exotic, and one-off pieces that never make it to the website. We’ve been here for four years now.
Our original store at Grandscape has been around for six years. It’s a bit smaller but carries plenty of our smaller items that are perfect for gifting.
Since you’ve been doing this for quite some time, would you say your creative process or style has changed over time?
Absolutely! We’ve grown a lot over the last 12 years. Our work is more consistent from one item to the next, and we’ve really locked into small-batch production. We’re always searching for the best leathers available at the right price point. Our designs continue to be refined, streamlined, and perfected.
How do you hope people feel when receiving one of your products?
We want customers to feel a sense of joy and pride knowing they’re buying solid, high-quality goods made right here in Texas. Not just in America, but in DFW! When they make a purchase, they’re supporting a family-owned business and the families that work with us.
We want them to be thrilled the day they get it, but even more thrilled years later when they realize how well their money was spent. The quality and durability of OLG products should stand out both today and after years of use.
What’s something people might not realize about what you make?
Surprisingly, a lot of people don’t realize that we actually make all our leather goods ourselves! We’re not ordering from overseas and stamping our logo on it. We make it right here, and anyone is welcome to stop by and see it in action.
We order hides from tanneries around the country and the world, then cut, assemble, and sew everything ourselves. Every design is unique to OLG and the result of my imagination and collaboration with the team.
What’s been the most rewarding moment since starting your creative journey?
We love hearing from customers! It’s really heartwarming when someone comes up and tells us they bought an item at a Jingle Bash or another event six, seven, or even nine years ago. They’ll proudly show how much the leather has aged or broken in, and most say they love their item more now than the day they bought it.
Many of our customers have followed our journey as we’ve grown. They’ve seen our product lines evolve and even watched my kids grow up. They talk about us so warmly and personally. For me, the most rewarding part has been not just building a respected leather brand but also creating lasting memories and connections with our customers.
What’s the best part of working with leather goods?
The best part has been building a brand and business with family and friends. After years in digital marketing, it’s incredibly satisfying to create something tangible using real products that have to hold up to everyday use. And we’re doing just that!
Leather is a universal material. Everyone has a story connected to a leather item, whether it’s a bag, a baseball glove, a belt, or something that holds meaning. It’s the smell, the look, the feel. Leather keeps memories. It’s a wonderful and rewarding material to work with every day.
Do you have any new pieces or surprises debuting at the market?
Everything has been refreshed and revamped! If you haven’t seen us at and market recently, or stopped by the store, I think you’ll be surprised.
What’s the “must-have” or perfect gift from your collection this season?
Our Larissa Zip-Top Tote has been a huge hit. It’s a new design we released just a few weeks ago, and it’s been hard to keep in stock. We should have a few available at Jingle Bash!
What do you love most about being part of this local market and creative community?
I’ve been fortunate to travel across the country with Odin Leather Goods to teach and share, and I truly believe no other area has such a rich community of makers who are both talented and supportive. Most people here genuinely want to help fellow makers and small business owners succeed.
The only thing they love more than talking about their own products and brand is bragging on their favorite local brands, and that’s awesome! There’s so much that customers can discover right here in North Texas. They can find the most unique and inspiring products while supporting small businesses in their own backyard.
