Lythe Leather founder and principal designer, Blythe Ingraham, was born and raised in the rural recesses of Northwestern USA. Inspired by natural beauty and outdoor living, she meticulously hand-stitches goods that reflect functional elegance & old-world beauty. Lythe Leather products are created in the spirit of conscious consumerism, with the belief that one’s wardrobe and daily-carry should be worthwhile investments. Practicing slow fashion is our culture and we hope each customers sees the value in maintaining their Lythe Leather products as something to pass onto the next generation for use.
Among our greatest commitments is to support tanneries which adhere to strict environmental practices. Our leather is solely sourced from the most reputable tanning companies within the USA, and Europe. By supporting strict-practice tanneries, we align ourselves with a broader sustainable fashion and manufacturing industry. We believe this is our highest responsibility, and essential in moving toward a conscious-based global economy.
While studying abroad in Morocco, she visited one of the most renowned leather tanneries in the world. The personal dedication they showed to the raw material inspired her to bring it back to life.
For Romy, creating leather goods is an intimate process. Before deciding on grain or thickness, she thinks about how a design will be used and where it will be worn. Once she’s ready to cut a pattern, she treats the raw material as a second skin. Completely opposed to an industrial approach, she guides the leather as if it were a living being.

International Chic with a Québécois Touch.
After years of practice, Romy has found that gently taming and suggesting shape yields the most elegant results. Even when she started small with wallets back in 1987, she always matched her meticulousness with curiosity. Travelling around the globe, she has studied various techniques and designs that have helped her cultivate a singular yet international style. Today, she has a few apprentices of her own and spends most of her time crafting with them in her Montréal studio. She still makes time to learn new techniques and exhibits at tradeshows all around the world.
