About Us
Holdenleathergoods.com is the online retail store of Holden Leathergoods, an Irish based company located in Dingle, Co. Kerry, Ireland. Conor Holden trained in the traditional skills of leatherwork in London and returned to Ireland in 1989 to establish Holden Leathergoods on the Dingle Peninsula in Kerry.

The Holden label soon acquired a reputation for design and quality and in 1993 the company moved to its current location, a traditional stone built schoolhouse, in order to meet the growing demand for its products. The schoolhouse is located in Baile an Ghoilin, three miles west of Dingle town, overlooking the harbour. Here, local crafts people, trained by Conor, create beautifully designed pieces from the highest quality Italian leather.

The hand-selected hides are tanned by the traditional method using vegetable-based resin. They are environmentally friendly, look and feel luxurious and acquire their own individual character with age. Quality brass and nickel fittings are carefully chosen to compliment the designs. Care and attention to detail, both in the design and manufacture of the leather goods produced here and in customer service, ensure that the Holden label continues to be synonymous with total quality.

We are always updating our website and adding new products in order to bring you an even wider array of leather accessories. If there are any ways you think we can improve our website or have a comment or question please contact us - we are committed to helping you in anyway we can.
