In 1975, Robert and Fannie Coblentz
started a leather business with very little
equipment and tools but with a very basic
belief… manufacture a quality product
and your business will build itself.
From its humble beginning in a 15’x20′
building, Coblentz Handmade U.S.A. has
grown from originally making horse collars
for local farmers to fabricating a wide
variety of quality leather products.
Current owners, Marion and Naomi
Coblentz still hold to the high quality standards
established by Marion’s parents, and
they have greatly expanded their product
line as well as building a new retail location
in 2011.
Stop in and browse through the waist
belts (10/12 oz thick solid leather), purses,
wallets, portfolios, briefcases, hats, friendship
bracelets, gun slings, leather carry
bags, possible pouches that are perfect for
Kindles and iPads, checkbook covers,
knife cases, coaster sets, wine bag carriers,
cell phone cases, leather aprons, door
bells, guitar straps, leather pillows and
much more.
“All our leather products are made in
the U.S.A. from U.S. hides,” explains Marion,
“A quality leather item whether it’s a
belt, a purse, or briefcase starts with the
highest quality U.S. hide. We accept nothing
less than top of the line leather.” Add
to that the quality craftsmanship of
Coblentz’s experienced staff, about half of
which are family. “We have a wonderful
skilled group of employees
who work hard and
share a lot of thoughts
and ideas. We wouldn’t
be where we’re at today
without them,” beams
Marion. When you stop
in, you can actually see
Coblentz’s staff at work,
meticulously crafting
high quality durable
leather goods. Need help
designing a unique item?
Marion and his staff can
help design and manufacture
that special item that
you can’t find anywhere
else.
“We find more and more of our customers
are looking for quality leather
goods that they can’t get with inferior imported
leather. Genuine U.S. made leather
goods using hides grown and tanned in the
USA, it’s the only thing we’ll use,” continues
Marion.
