Original designs, handsewn, leather products. Custom sizing available for any product.
Hi! I’m Loni, the creator and craftsman of Treibholz Designs. I design, cut, and hand-sew each Treibholz product. I grew up in the west coast of Canada, so supporting nature and sustainability is very important to me! That’s why all my leather comes from a local warehouse that only deals with upcycled leather. I don’t believe in charging customers for frilly packaging that is merely destined for a landfill, that’s why all of my products are wrapped in upcycled, simple materials.
I work from my home studio to handcraft each product. I design each piece, cut out the patterns, hand sew each product with a needle and thread, and finish the edges by hand-sanding, waxing, and dying. Treibholz Designs is my hobby and not my main source of income, so my goal is to share my craft with others and make each product perfect for those who are looking for unique and long-lasting pieces.
The idea for this project all began while backpacking through the Australia more than 10 years ago. Traveling the countryside with only a pack on my back truly made me aware of how important quality products are. I didn’t have the space for junk, so each item that I carried during my travels was durable and reliable. I still carry these sentiments with me today; I aim for each of my designs to be versatile and robust, with a timeless charm, so they can be used for generations. Ten years later, I’m still on the move. I’ve explored Asia, Germany, Canada, Portugal, and South Africa, all the while, working on Treibholz Designs. For the moment, you can find me in the south of France, I’ll be working in the vineyards or maybe cooking in my rustic kitchen!
I love to work with others to create custom orders. If there is a piece you’ve been dreaming of, reach out! I’d love to tackle your project! My portfolio includes countless tote, purse, and backpack styles, electronic cases made to fit any device, wedding ring holders, religious book covers, music folders, guitar straps, dog collars, drawer pulls, hanging planters, Mont Blanc pen holders… The list goes on!
Thanks for taking the time to learn a little about me and Treibholz Designs!
