Our Story
Under one roof, our expertise merges, resulting in a seamless blend of artisanal craftsmanship and functionality. From meticulously crafted pocket accessories to rugged survivalist tools, each piece embodies our collaborative vision.
But what truly distinguishes us is our shared workshop, where creativity flows freely, and every design is a labor of love. We work together fluidly, with Allan lending a hand stitching wallets and Kat expertly operating the bandsaw, seamlessly blending our talents and efforts to bring our collaborative vision to life. When you shop with us, you're not just purchasing a product – you're investing in our passion, craftsmanship, and dedication to exceptional quality (and supporting our family!). Welcome to our world, where Allan Hillegass and Kat Marhefka unite to craft the extraordinary.
