Meet Your Leather Guide

At age eleven, Tanner tanned five sheepskins to create his first leather jacket. Since then, what started as a play has become a lifetime passion. Tanner was once a cab driver in Chicago, sold textiles in New York, and worked as a Consultant in corporate America before returning to leather crafting. With 20 years of experience in different aspects of leather across five different countries, Tanner now dedicates himself to helping people understand and utilize leather to its best potential.

Exceptional craftsmanship
"I just received my Helen bag in navy. It was beautifully packaged. The leather and craftsmanship is exceptional; exactly what I was looking for. The gorgeous leather lining is buttery soft. I can adjust the strap for crossbody or make it shorter to fit under my arm. It will easily fit my phone, lip gloss, key fob and leather card holder. No need to spend $$$ for a subpar leather bag with branding all over it- Pegai bags are far superior."

Beautiful briefcase
"Loving the quality, the design and craftsmanship of this product! Fast delivery via DHL but subject to payable tax. Intuitive compartments for their first design, looking forward to more complex designs in the future! Definitely would recommend to my friends and family members."

Wonderful, well-made bag
"After a few weeks of use, I am so, so happy about this bag. It is well-made. The finish is wonderful. It even smells nice. I love the leather and the craftsmanship of this bag that I plant to purchase one for my sister."
