Meet the Master Craftsman
Harper, a leather artisan from Sarasota, Florida, draws deep inspiration from his late grandfather, who handcrafted bags, holsters, and cases in his workshop in the mountains of New Mexico. Those early moments of watching his craft left a lasting impression, though their significance only became clear years later. When Harper worked with leather for the first time, it felt like reconnecting with that legacy, sparking a profound appreciation for the artistry passed down through generations.
Harper's designs reflect a commitment to balance—blending simplicity, functionality, and beauty. Harper’s journey into leatherworking began as a search for high-quality, practical items that seamlessly fit into daily life. Each piece is thoughtfully crafted with a focus on purpose and elegance, ensuring it enhances both form and function.
Collaborating with Bluebonnet aligns perfectly with Harper’s values, combining sustainable craftsmanship with timeless, nature-inspired designs. Through his work, Harper honors his grandfather’s legacy, creating pieces that bring meaning and joy to the everyday.
USA Craftsmanship
This Bluebonnet piece is crafted from American Horween English Tan Dublin leather, a full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather that is tanned using Horween’s 100 year old “Cordovan Veg Tan” liquor formula.
Essex leather sides are infused with a wax blend and ironed under a hot roller to create Dublin – a full bodied leather with a rugged appeal. The wax finish creates a beautiful pull-up effect on the leather when bent or handled.
