Welcome to Valent Leather!

I’m John Valent, the creator and craftsman behind everything you see here. My passion for leatherwork began in 2015 when I had the opportunity to work alongside a professional leather worker at Tricked Out Leather. That experience ignited my love for the craft, and I’ve been creating handcrafted leather goods ever since.

As a veteran-owned small business, I take pride in using materials that reflect the same standards of quality, integrity, and durability that I value. Every item I make is handcrafted using premium leathers from Horween Leather Co. and Wickett & Craig, and sewn with thread from the Maine Thread Company—all proudly American companies. This ensures that every product you receive is 100% American made, from the materials to the workmanship.

I believe in the beauty and honesty of natural materials. The quality of these leathers allows me to create products that are durable, reliable, and full of character that only gets better with time.

Whether you’re shopping for yourself or searching for the perfect gift, my goal is to create something that not only serves a purpose but carries meaning.

Thank you for supporting my veteran-owned small business. I truly hope you find something you love as much as I enjoyed making it.

If you have questions or want something custom, feel free to reach out—I’d love to hear from you.

Warm regards,

John Valent
