We had a stringent quality control standard so we were making some wonderful things. We were using top grain leather with a really nice feel - “hand” in leather terminology. I found a lot of satisfaction in the quiet rhythm of a small scale assembly, taking pride in my work. Four of us assembled quite a lot of leathergoods for sale in the surrounding ski areas. Winters involved a small wholesaling operation. I also honed my skills crafting hard leather accessories while vacationers watched from across the counter. Having sewn fabric since I was a young girl, I was a perfect candidate to apprentice sewing cowhide and sheepskin into coats, vests, and bags. In the resort town of Grand Lake, Colorado, Paul Mauer designed and made everything in his store, "Leather Dimensions". Leather became my passion! As soon as I could, I found a master leather craftsman to work for. (That first purse won a Scholastic Achievement Award in Art) I made my first purse and soon had girls asking me to make purses for them too.
You could dye it light brown in the center, feather it darker on the edges, and when you applied finish and buffed it out, it seemed mirror like. For me, this was the beginning of GREAT LEATHER! In the early seventies there was a lot of yellow latigo to be had. When I was a high school junior in 1971, I had a school assignment for a three-dimensional design art project, any medium. Thoughtfully designed with artistic applications and superior construction, these leathergoods are built to last - and love!
