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, our 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 the craft that would define his future.

From Vision to Presence

Leathermint earns its first place in the physical world: Le Bitcoin Bazar. What began as survival work now takes shape as a brand rooted in sovereignty and proof-of-craft. This small presence marks the beginning of its role 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 held 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 now carried the responsibility of producing one of the most recognized works in the Bitcoin movement.

Crafted for sovereignty

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