Before starting LK Leather, Linny had earned her B.A. in Music, studied Opera singing in NYC and Germany, worked as a horse Wrangler in Mendocino, CA and successfully rode her horse, Sojourner, 3,700 miles across the country from Los Angeles, California to New Hampshire. It was an 8.5 month ride. Linny designs and creates art that is highly personal and unique, so that her pieces feel like another form of expression for the chefs and musicians she works with. She began her business in preparation for her own cross country trek on horseback, and on her journey realized the desire amongst artists and adventurers alike for products that are as expressive as they are functional, and as easy on the eye as they are on the conscience. LK Leather uses clean, full grain vegetable-tanned leather and hand dyes each piece with non-toxic dye to create functional art that is both ethical and beautiful. Every piece is carefully made by hand from start to finish in the New Hampshire White Mountains.
