About

Hi, nice to meet you! I'm Manu — a leather maker based in Texas.

I first learned to work with leather in 2016 and fell in love with it. And then life got in the way. A few years ago I picked it back up — right around the same time I got back in the saddle after 14 years away from horseback riding.

That return to riding changed everything. It reconnected me to something I'd been missing since I  was a teenager, and it's what shapes every piece I make at Mane & Hide. The belts, bags, and charms I create are made by hand, one at a time, with the kind of care that only comes from genuinely loving the craft.

If you're here, you probably get it. Thank you for taking the time to check us out! Happy shopping.

                                   -Manu.
