Paige Leather is not responsible for item wear and tear that is a result of customer use, including; constant rubbing, heavy packing, misuse, or harsh environmental conditions. Proper care for leather items will increase the lifespan of the product. Leather is a hardy material, but it needs to be cared for.
Skidmore's Leather Cream is an all-purpose leather care product that cleans, conditions, and protects all types of leather from the harsh effects of the environment......sun, wind, dryness, and moisture. Never submerge cowhide or leather product into water but use a damp cloth instead.
Hair-on cowhide can be carefully vacuumed as well. Cowhide should be treated differently than other leathers. Authentic cowhide is used with a variety of texture, tone, and patterns, all which expect a degree of shedding therefore limit friction to decrease wear and tear. Fixative to reduce shedding is NOT suggested and may ruin the hide.
Any items with fringe should be hung up to avoid wrinkling. Ideally purses should hung up as well, stuffed to hold their shape and oiled as needed. Belts should be laid flat, hung up or rolled up to avoid kinks.
All leather selection is subject to change according to availability. Paige Leather takes pride in using limited-edition leathers to ensure unique products.

Her adoration of horsemanship inspired the functionality and classic western styles seen in Paige Leather, while the creativity and attention to detail comes from Paige’s critically acclaimed artistic career.
“My mom’s side of the family are all artistic in one form or another and my art was nurtured growing up,” Paige shares. Early on in her career, equine associations looking for unique year-end awards noticed Paige’s drawings and paintings. “With my art I was passionate about portraying the modern cowboy. With most western art these days, you see a romanticized, idealized cowboy - you don’t see what it’s like working on a cattle ranch day in and day out. There are great stories to tell there.”
Envision the bold and powerful cowgirl of old - guns slung on either side of her hips, a wry smile on her lips. Paige’s art is a homage to western culture and Paige Leather is designed for the emblazoned and bold woman. As her artistic career began taking off, she felt she needed to embody that same timelessness in her own personal style. Inspired by the pages of Cowboys & Indians magazine, the artist began to create wide leather belts; the 'gunslinger' and 'corset' styles that are now so popular were born during this period. The designs that encompass Paige Leather may be inspired by a bygone era, yet they are modern and attractive and just like true women of the west... strong, yet beautiful at the same time.
Her belts were originally a complimentary product to the art that hung from the walls of her booths, but soon began to sell rapidly among women who appreciated the craftsmanship and art within Paige’s leatherwork as well.
“The leatherwork really called to me. I attacked my leather working skills, wanting to do the absolute best by the pieces I created.”
The purses and accessories that soon followed were a natural progression, loved by women across in the arena, and the office. Yet the passion for the beauty of the pieces is what drove Paige, “I would go leather shopping and would fall in love with each different piece of leather, turquoise or concho I saw. The purses came from that organically, it was so fun to buy beautiful leather and create something special from that.”
In the same way the cowgirls of the west blazed their own trails, Paige Albrecht is doing the same within her business. “I really believe in going big, or going home. You know, you grow up as a small-town girl and sometimes you think, 'I can’t do that, I can’t build this hugely successful company.' But I know I can. I try to be brave, I try to stay ahead of the curve. I think to myself, if I want to sell you something that is high end, I have embody that timelessness and offer you high-quality, classic pieces.”
