About Us

The sun was shining and the birds were singing as my mother and I wandered around South Congress Avenue in Austin, Texas. She had come to visit me and was enjoying a lovely walk on this beautiful Sunday morning. Suddenly, she saw it. A beautiful cowhide wallet, just calling out to her. Her eyes lit up with excitement as she touched it for the first time. It felt so soft and luxurious under her fingers that all of her anxiety melted away.

She couldn't believe how lucky she was to find such a gorgeous item! And then she saw the price tag... $200!? My mothers excitement quickly turned to disappointment as she realized that she could never afford something like that. And I too felt terrible because I could not afford to buy her this. In that moment I decided I would do my best to produce a sleek cowhide product not only for my mother, but for all people. That’s when TheHide&Sleek was born.

When I embarked on this journey. I had a strict policy against working with manufacturers that have questionable ethical and quality working conditions. I believe in producing high-quality products, and we refuse to cut corners when it comes to the well-being of our customers and employees.

We work closely with our manufacturing partners to ensure that everyone involved in the production process is treated fairly and with respect. We also hold ourselves to the highest standards when it comes to product quality. Our customers can trust that they're getting a top-quality product every time they purchase from us. We hope to be able to serve you for many years to come. 

Much Love,
Chris
