Founded in 2017 by Zeelah Davis and co-managed with his wife, Marvine Davis, My Old Man Leathercraft produces premium leather goods grounded in family craftsmanship. Inspired by Zeelah’s father, the brand “My Old Man” pays tribute to a heritage of handmade leatherwork. From humble beginnings crafting wallets and belts for their son, the business has expanded to offer a range of products including leather totes, duffle bags, backpacks, slippers, and wall decor. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted using full-grain leather, designed for durability and longevity.
The brand operates primarily through artisan-pop-up markets and a permanent shop at Artisan Village in Falmouth, offering direct feedback from customers and building loyal followings. Their focus on quality over price helps position their products as enduring investments rather than disposable accessories. Zeelah remains the lead artisan, with plans to train staff as demand grows. My Old Man Leathercraft blends Jamaican tradition with modern fashion, aiming to become known nationally and internationally for its handcrafted leather excellence.
