Artisan

Artisan defined – An artisan is a worker in a skilled trade, especially one that involves making things by hand.

For Sole Survivor, this specifically refers to making leather belts, bags, wallets and more. It’s what we do every day at Sole Survivor. And that is why we call ourselves leather Artisans. 

Sole Survivor leather artisans use timeless traditions to create contemporary and enduring leather goods. Our exclusive house-made designs both complement and enhance modern and vintage fashions.
