Micah McGrath is a self-taught New Orleans based leatherworker whose hand-dyed designs emphasize vibrant color and functional beauty.
The Mennonite culture that Micah grew up in, instilled in him the values of simplicity and commitment to high standards of craftsmanship. Nearly a decade of trial and error in the trade, results in his sole use of vegetable tanned leather hides from a handful of ethical American and European tanneries.
Micah's work focuses primarily on making wallets, purses, bags and accessories that blend beauty and heirloom durability, with every detail, from custom hand-dyes to edging and stitching, done by hand by the artist himself.
