Based in Providence, Rhode Island, Lotuff Leather creates handcrafted leather goods with their team of twenty two employees. One of their most complicated bags, the Triumph Briefcase, requires a multitude of skill sets to create; from leather working, to painting, to hand-stitching.

I really like the glasses she was wearing at 0:22, could anyone tell me what they are so I can possible find them for myself!!! They look to me like just super awesome safety goggles! Let me know if you know what they are!
This is something you can hand down to your grandchildren. Wow.
whoa – awesome!
I love buying handmade, what gets to me is when people complain about the price of Handmade/Locally Made/Made in America products and they then complain when stores like Walmart close that sell Made in China products. If we as a society bought only Hand Made, Locally Made, or Made in America products our cities/towns economies would be more stable and the money would stay in the communities.
The name "New England" is so outdated and should be changed. I would never buy anything made by New Englishmen.
It's actually cheap. I saw leather material selling for 5000 upwards.
I Wish Them Nothing But Success!
whats the use if its glued
kudos to lotuff!
What I see here is small business ownership and capitalism at its best. Now I’d like to ask, how many of these young, educated artists voted the liberal agenda, wanting, no, demanding, socialism and for their student loans to evaporate? Keep voting for socialism, allowing Bernie and Liz and Nancy, etc. to be on the receiving end of wealth and the only one’s able to afford these lovely leather goods produced at this business.
1.- No one needs a bachelor's degree to do manual labor, which ultimately means you're paying for their bachelor's degree and not for the actual product.
2.- If you use machines of any kind, you can't claim the items are hand made.
Me encantaaaa
Thank you women

Bloomberg SUCKS
I'd get this over a "designer bag" any day. Beautiful work!
The America that everyone loves.
Fucking Americans just switch to the metric system already trust me it’s better easier and more precise
Basically a very PC handcrafting studio
Sewing machine, die cutting, please, that is not handmade
Having someone put care into something for you is nice, especially if it's as a gift. However buying commercial goods with extra man hours is more like ego where you want to feel like you deserve people's long hours of work. I would much rather buy something high quality made by a machine than high quality and sweat over by a worker.
Naah…. Happy with my made in China cheap stuff.
Lol. Grinding of leather can be automated girl…i know. But it's the craftsmanship we cannot.
The price is surprisingly low for a bag so beautiful and handmade tho
So it costs more because spoiled americans are hand making it…. No thanks.
what a bullshit romanticizing of old ways to do things!! without this big mouthed seller lady, none of this bullshit is possible. The bags are not better. They are just sold and created as unique for rich people to boast about!!
Can bloomberg come film me making my leather journals in my basement?
This is amaaaaazzzziiiiinnnnggggg
It's just beautiful to see someone work like that and pour their life into a product. I would never buy it, it's just illogical but emotionally it feels great.
Just Beautiful! This video is very inspirational. Our brand has just started creating handbags and I’m learning all the steps your team has mastered. Thank you for the visual.
