Purveyors of Leather Made Goods


It's time to take the Shift'D brand into another direction.  A direction that drives passion and further identifies who the brand is.  We are a brand that embraces Hand Made products right here in our shop in Littleton, CO.  Whether it be from screen printing all of the merch by hand, to hand sewing tags on tees, or sewing patches on hats, etc..  We are now 100% into making Leather goods, all by hand!  To be a Leathersmith is a detailed craft that's been around for centuries.  There are so many different types of techniques that can be used when making a leather product.  There is so much to know about when selecting the leather or the hardware, how you treat the Leather when being worked and much much more.
To be honest, the learning process is an every day thing which is awesome, but what is most gratifying is that every piece that will be for sale was worked by skilled hands which means 100% control on quality and care.  Not one piece will be janky or less than the other.  When you manufacture through an overseas country you lose the control factor which can be very scary should there be numerous defects.  Credibility is everything in this industry and we want Shift'D Union to be known for the very best when it comes to everything we put on the website!  From here on out, the goal is to make Shift'D Union the very best in leather belts and accessories for the Action sports enthusiasts or just the casual cool folk who have a good sense of style.

Everywhere you look, leather belts are always brown or black.  We will be dropping leather belts that are colorful but pack extreme toughness and quality.  Belts you see in Retail stores are thin straps of maybe 6 oz leather.  We will be providing 8/9 oz straps that will last you a lifetime.  Our belts will be treated to resist water so you can snowboard or ski in them or sweat your booty off while skating the park or summiting a 14er.  They will last longer than you and with stand anything you can throw at them.  Our belt line is what we really want to focus on along with wallets, keychains and smaller accessories. 

So here's a look at what we are getting into now.  I hope that you enjoy these and that you take a chance to see for yourself the quality that is in our Leather products:
