About Us:

North Star Leather

    North Star Leather began its history in 1969 in Boston.  Our founder and Owner Steve Batson discovered the joy of hand crafted leather.   From street vending there in Boston, we've moved south to a small town called Ruby, SC.   Our product line has increased to over 150 products.  We still do our best to offer quality leather goods at reasonable prices.  With 80% of leather goods now-days made overseas, we stand out from the crowd  with quality leather goods made here in the U.S.A.

What are range marks?

 Leather is a natural material and as such it is subject to minor blemishes and imperfections.  These are referred to as range marks.  They are actually healed scars and scratches that the animal incurred while alive.  These are not Defects but authenticate that the material is real leather and make each piece truly one of a kind.

What is the difference between Leather and Suede?

Leather starts out often as thick or thicker than a belt.   A  layer is split off the top to produce smooth leather like you see in shoes, jackets, furniture etc.  The bottom layer is then buffed to give it the velvety feel that is characteristic of suede.

How do I care for Suede?

If you purchase a suede product from us we'll include a Suede Care Sheet that explains how to keep your suede bag or hat looking great for a long time.
