WYWyoming field entry
Range Leather Co.
Laramie, WY
A downtown Laramie leather shop where bags, wallets and belts are made across multiple floors of an 1890s building, with Saturday tours following full hides through cutting and stitching and separate appointments for designing a custom bag.
Range Leather makes the workshop itself part of the retail experience, allowing shoppers to see the people and machines building the goods sold downstairs.

Range Leather sells bags, wallets, belts, hats, accessories and other changing leather goods made in its active multi-floor Laramie workshop. The company describes its process as full hide to finished product and says the workshop operates six days a week, with cutting, stitching and finishing performed in Laramie. The full-grain leather itself comes from Chicago's Horween Leather Company, so the finished goods are made in Wyoming without implying Wyoming tanning. A paid, scheduled Saturday workshop tour begins at 9 a.m., lasts about 45 minutes, takes up to eight visitors through multiple floors of the 1890s building and requires closed-toe shoes; availability is not guaranteed and no current price is published here. A separate paid 30-minute one-on-one personalization appointment lets a customer choose a bag, leather, colors and monogram before a custom piece enters production, without a same-day-completion promise. Adjoining Range Coffee is part of the visitor operation and tour entry currently uses its pass-through, but the leather workshop alone qualifies and the café is not a separate record.
