About

Since 2015, Up North Leather has been creating handmade leather goods in York, PA. My inspiration is drawn from nature and the mountains of Northern PA. The area has a deep history in logging; leather was a by product of that industry. I am a member of a hunting camp that sits on what use to be a tannery in the late 1800's. What started out as a hobby, has become a passion and I am delighted to bring high quality leather goods to a world where quality has been traded off for quantity. I strive to make every item better than the previous product and stand by everything I make with a lifetime guarantee. "The smell of leather never gets old"... the first thought I have every time I enter the shop.

Up North Leather is currently a one man band ran by myself, Kyle Gleissner. I am self taught and am always learning new techniques to perfect my craft. I currently do a lot of custom one off pieces, but am trying to create some inventory.
