our story
The Local Branch started in 2009 while maker duo Blaine & Mackenzie were forging their path in their craft - pioneering an ethos in artisan, quality, USA made leather and apparel goods.
Their journey started out of an Airstream trailer and has taken them all across America - and now they find themselves, back to their NY roots with brick and mortar shop in the Finger Lakes, Skaneateles NY
Still crafting all their leather and canvas goods in small batches by hand, slowly, thoughtfully and intentionally growing their brand with a loyal, mighty little team by their side.
Handcrafted, well-traveled, USA made.
the custom shop
Our Upstate NY maker workshop specializes in the creation of custom gifts and marketing items for your small business, corporate or academic events. As well as favors for weddings, reunions and other gatherings where a handmade keepsake adds just a little extra.
The opportunity is endless when it comes to customization and we can work with you to bring your vision to life - anything from custom coasters and pint sleeves to custom interior design pieces.
Partner with us on custom branded leather coasters, journals, key clips and more from our collection of leather goods.
