Clyde is our bestest boy. He's getting old and grumpy with the cats, but he's earned it. He's been coming to work with us most days over the last 12 years. He likes to lay around on his orthopedic pet bed (Thanks Penny and Christian). No more frisbee days but he's still as happy as can be!

COLLABORATION DEVELOPEMENT.
River City Leather, a family-owned shop in Gallipolis, Ohio, manufactures leather and nylon goods in their small town that sits along the Ohio River. Aaron found leather work as a hobby while recovering from a motorcycle accident–but it quickly became more than that. After he made Erin a leather tote for her birthday, they found an overwhelming interest from their friends and community, and soon after, RCL was founded in 2011. Starting in a spare bedroom, then a shed, a small studio, a garage workshop, a retail store with a workshop and shoe repair, they now work from a 5,000 square foot manufacturing facility. With all the growth over the years in business they’ve never lost sight of their love for leather. They now have several manufacturing clients from all over North America. Their RCL private label products continue to have a beautiful timeless design, rooted in practicality and made to last.
