The Promise

OCHRE Handcrafted is a small leather workshop based in Caledon, Ontario, specializing in hard-wearing handmade leather goods: each piece is built to perform in the wild and age beautifully.

Everything in the OCHRE Handcrafted lineup is thoughtfully designed for the rugged minimalist and handcrafted in Ontario, Canada. Each piece is built using heritage leathercraft, premium materials, and minimalist design. These goods will be at your service for years, taking on a wonderful rich character with age: one which tells a story uniquely yours.

Every effort is made to ensure that these goods will endure the test of time. Guaranteed to be free of manufacturing defects, each product is covered by a lifetime free repair policy. The OCHRE Handcrafted name has an excellent track record, but in the unlikely event that your piece is not performing as it should, you can trust that this maker stands behind his product and is faithfully committed to making it right.

My name is Julian Petti and I’m the owner and operator of OCHRE Handcrafted. My journey into design started simply with a need for gear that I just couldn’t find out there. Travel and adventure are a big priority of mine, so designing my own gear started as an exciting hobby and soon became my full-time job. I wanted simple minimalist goods that would perform well in the wild and age nicely. OCHRE Handcrafted was launched in 2015, and this has been one of the most rewarding and meaningful adventures of my life. Thank you for all your support!
