We were recently introduced to Popov Leather, makers of handcrafted-in-Nelson, British Columbia products ranging from wallets to Apple watch bands.
Co-Founder/Maker Ryan Popoff began creating leather goods as a home hobby in 2013.
After creating a simply-designed leather wallet that would fit in his front pocket, he made a few more prototypes, then took his wife’s advice and posted the design online and sure enough, others responded and wanted that wallet!
Ryan’s got a team of hard-working, dedicated craftsmen and women on his team that keep this family-owned business thriving in Canada and beyond.
Their pieces are all hand-stitched using quality Horween leather, and Popov believes in producing consistently high quality goods that will last a lifetime. Each of their wallets, card holders, passport covers, tote bags, leather journals and iPad sleeves are available in a few leather finishes.
English tan is a light and lovely colour that we found suited one of our home office standing desks perfectly for a mouse pad, and the 1/4” thick leather has natural grain and unique character that sets it apart from the ‘next’ one.
Popov quality-checks each piece before it leaves their headquarters, and offers a no-hassle return policy if you’re not happy with your leather purchase. Popov even offers discounts for military, first-responders, teachers and students, using the VerifyPass gateway. Their items arrive packaged in a black cloth reusable drawstring bag for protection and gifting.
At the moment, they’re offering an overstock 30% discount (from USD $39 to USD $27) on mouse pads in four finishes, so if you like what you see here, the 30% savings could come in handy for back-to-school needs.
Visit Popov online for the entire collection and to order (free shipping on orders of USD $75 and over).
