If minimalism is your middle name, Henry Green Leather products were designed just for you. All of our items are handcrafted from premium American hides. Nothing is outsourced. We take pride in providing our customers with fairly priced high-end leather goods that will enhance their daily lives with their usefulness, compact size, and aesthetic design.

HGL is as compact as its products, having just one employee, owner, Nancy Green. The company is now based solely in Tampa.

WHAT IS THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND HENRY GREEN LEATHER

Henry Green Leather was born out of a desire to fill a gap in the market for quality leather accessories that are stylish, practical and compact. Our timeless designs and fastidious attention to detail set us apart from other brands on the market.

WHAT INSPIRES US TO CREATE

We are inspired by the elegance of functional minimalism and enjoy products that serve to streamline and simplify a consumer’s daily life. It is with this mindset that we set out to create the goods of Henry Green Leather. For example, the Husky Passport Wallet was created to be the only wallet you would need to take with you while traveling, while the Dachshund Key Holster provides a snug case for your keys and protection for your pocket and purse lining from the keys' jagged edges.

CURIOUS ABOUT CORGI ESTELLE AND HOW SHE BECAME PART OF OUR LOGO?

Some years back, company founder Tyler rescued Estelle from a bad situation and nursed her back to health. In the process, he fell in love with her ever-smiling personality. She’s been a huge part of his life ever since, so when he established the company, there was no question in his mind that she would feature prominently. We named our first product, the Corgi Wallet, after Estelle, and the inspiration to name all our products after dogs derived from that. We're still working on dog titles for some of our newer products. Suggestions welcome!

WHY WE USE HORWEEN LEATHER (adapted from Horween's website)

The Horween Leather Company has set the standard for the highest quality leathers since 1905. They offer a wide range of tannages from vegetable tanned Genuine Shell Cordovan to Sport Leathers and Footwear Leathers, such as Chromexcel. All of their leather is processed at their location on the corner of Elston and Ashland in Chicago, Illinois, USA.

WHY ARE THE SHELL CORDOVAN PRODUCTS SO MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE?

Horween's Shell Cordovan is the art of tanning at its finest. More than just a color, it is a very specific leather, from a particular part of a horsehide. The irregular oval shaped shells are tanned, stuffed, shaved, and then polished – a process taking at least six months. Each shell is slowly steeped in gentle vegetable liquors. The shells are genuine hot stuffed then slicked onto glass frames to dry. Each shell is hand curried and shaved by highly skilled artisans to expose the shell. Dyes are hand rubbed on for a deep aniline finish. Finally, the shells are hand glazed to achieve the rich, glossy look and feel prized by fine craftsmen.
