Open Sea Leather Co. was born out of the need to create. A life-long artist, Michael Bluth was drowning in the study of Mandarin Chinese while serving as a foreign language analyst in the Navy. Overwhelmed by the intense coursework he sought refuge in creating beautiful leather goods for friends and family. Before he knew it he had created several unique minimalist wallet designs that people wanted to buy: a lot of people. Every wallet is still designed by Michael and made by artisans in Honolulu, Hawaii. We believe that our focus on innovative design, sustainable leather, high quality material, handwork and US manufacturing sets us apart from the tired designs of the men's accessory market.
