The owner of Garrett Leather started the company on the third floor of his home. The name Garrett is from the old English word for “attic”. Today, our corporate headquarters are located in an 80,000 square foot distribution center in Buffalo, New York. Garrett Leather has grown into a global brand with customers in more than 25 countries on six continents. It is a classic American Dream success story. How did Garrett Leather grow and thrive over the past 30 years? By always putting our valued customers first.

Our Mission

When Garrett Leather was established in 1988, the owner was on a mission. His mission was to go above and beyond what other leather vendors offered and focus on his customers’ needs. He gave each and every customer personalized service, while maintaining the highest quality standards. Instead of looking to make a quick sale, he built long-lasting relationships. Our mission today remains unchanged. We continue to operate with the same customer-focused passion that the owner had 30 years ago.

The mission of Garrett Leather is to build relationships and earn our customers’ loyalty by providing the highest quality leather and a superior customer experience. 

Our Core Values

As we celebrate our 30th anniversary, we continue to abide by these values in our day-to-day business with customers, vendors, and all stakeholders. We believe that each of these values is equally important and we hold each other accountable to them. In fact, throughout the year employees who demonstrate the core values on a daily basis may earn rewards. These are our guiding principles that lead the way as we provide superior customer experiences.
