Our story

From shitcoin
to Bitcoin

Leathermint was not created as a fashion label. It was built as a physical expression of The Bitcoin Standard.

Born out of nothing

After losing everything in a leverage trading accident, Leathermint's artisan-in-chief is left living in his car with nothing but a few leather ColdClutches, gifts from his mother. He sells them to survive. But instead of chasing another gamble, he chooses a harder path: work.

With no tools, no money, and no skills, he rents a small studio in Montreal's Saint-Henri neighborhood, once known as Saint-Henri-des-Tanneries, the birthplace of leathercraft in New France dating back to 1685. There, he begins learning leatherwork.

From Vision to Presence

Leathermint earns its first place in the physical world at Le Bitcoin Bazar. What began as survival work now takes shape as a brand with its own products and identity. This is Leathermint's first physical presence in the Bitcoin economy.

The Standard is Set

A wallet crafted as a tribute to Bull Bitcoin during the Fourth Halving was purchased by the company's CEO. Months later, wallets were made for the entire team. It was an early sign that Bitcoin merchandise could be made to a higher standard.

The Saif House

Leathermint signed a partnership agreement with The Saif House for the production of the official leatherbound editions of The Bitcoin Standard. What began as a small workshop in Montreal was now producing leatherbound editions of one of Bitcoin's best-known books.

Partnership with Modulo

Leathermint partners with Modulo to reduce the cost of the Modulo Key in Canada by establishing a commercial channel between the USA and Canada. The partnership comes as a direct response to Coldcard's Tragedy of Entropy, whose epicenter was in Canada. Entropy keys would later become the Bitcoin standard for self-custody.

Now

Crafted for sovereignty

The mission is to build a house of craftsmanship for those who take custody seriously and choose a higher standard.
