Have you heard of Clayton & Crume? I did not about them until recently. They are the leader in custom leather goods created in the heart of Louisville Kentucky.
Plenty of dreams have been inspired in a college dorm room, but few actually end up maturing business. Clayton & Crume.
Western Kentucky University graduates Clay Simpson and Tyler Jury started out making belts for friends and fraternity brothers in a makeshift dorm studio. Now they run a thriving leather goods company in the heart of bourbon country: Louisville, Kentucky. College friends noticed the belt and asked if he could make one for them. Following his initial creation, Clay began ordering leather and designing more accessories for friends. After graduating, Clay and his fraternity brother, Tyler Jury, began discussing Clay’s creativity and kicked around the idea of starting their own business selling these accessories. They drew up the paperwork, put up a website, and the result was Clayton & Crume.
The men’s line includes duffle bags, messenger totes, bi-fold wallets, money clips, and Dopp kits. The ladies’ line offers clutches, cosmetic bags, and crossbody totes. Home and office accessories such as mousepads, tech sleeves, and coasters are available, and Clay and Tyler haven’t forgotten their early days of design as they offer dog collars and leashes for the family pet.
The company’s line of products continues to expand. Clayton & Crume’s accessories are available online and at craft fairs and boutiques. The best advertising for the products is by word of mouth. When you give a guy a belt and he’s never seen this thickness of leather before or he’s never felt something like this, he’s going to wear it for a week and tell people about it.
These make the perfect gifts for the holidays.
