At KUUTSUU, we believe in the beauty of craftsmanship and the enduring quality of materials. Founded in 2014 in Austin, Texas by architect and designer Mathew Owen, our company is dedicated to creating high-quality, full-grain vegetable-tanned leather goods that are designed to last a lifetime. Each piece is handcrafted with care in Krakow, Poland, using natural tannins from carefully selected leather sourced from reputable tanneries.

Our commitment to sustainability drives us to produce timeless designs that transcend fleeting trends. We strive to create products that not only embody elegance and durability but also foster a deeper connection between the customer and their belongings. By encouraging our customers to care for their leather goods, we aim to reduce waste and promote a more sustainable lifestyle.

Mission

We are dedicated to reducing waste by providing products that are not only beautiful and functional but also designed for longevity. We believe that quality craftsmanship can lead to a more sustainable future, where customers cherish and maintain their possessions for a lifetime.

Vision

We envision a world where quality and sustainability go hand in hand, where consumers prioritize timeless craftsmanship over fast fashion. At KUUTSUU, we aspire to be a leader in the leather goods industry by setting a standard for excellence and environmental responsibility. Our vision is to inspire individuals to appreciate and care for their possessions, fostering a culture of sustainability and mindfulness.

Values

1. Craftsmanship: We take pride in our meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that every product is handmade, hand-stitched, and hand-finished with the utmost care.

2. Sustainability: Our commitment to the environment drives us to use natural materials and processes that minimize waste and reduce our ecological footprint.

3. Timeless Design: We prioritize classic, elegant designs that transcend trends, allowing our products to remain relevant and cherished for years to come. Instead of following trends to sell new products each year, we aim to let the product and its quality be the driving factor. Timeless design and quality are what will keep them relevant and beautiful for years to come

4. Customer Connection: We aim to build lasting relationships with our customers, encouraging them to engage with their products and value the stories behind them. Instead of trying to sell them new products each year we want to encourage continued use and support this by facilitating repairs and care and even restitching of the product if it would fail. Due to the high quality leather the products will only continue to gain character and beauty and age in a unique and individual way for each user.

5. Integrity: We uphold the highest standards of ethical practices in sourcing materials and crafting our products, ensuring that our processes reflect our values.
