Blog / About Us

At Grit Mercantile, we name our products to honor ancestors, family and friends who have displayed true grit in their lives.

Did you know that leather is a by-product of the meat industry? We thoughtfully select leather hides from some of the best tanneries and handcraft it into heirloom pieces. Supporting real leather goods is a true trash-to-treasure story.

As a family-based handmade leather goods business, learn about us, why we started, our mission and values, and where we are now.
