Made Solid is a collection of leather products designed and handmade in Los Angeles by Peter Maxwell and Mia. Their designs are inspired by their history and their surroundings. Western living is at their core.
They honor uniqueness and celebrate the individuality of each piece they create.
Making a solid connection between the raw leather their hands touch and the well used pieces their friends love is their constant goal. They work with vegetable tanned cowhide that retains the character of the animal and develops a rich patina over time. They respect the living properties of the hides we use.
They use traditional saddle making techniques to create our pieces by hand and incorporate many vintage tools. They employ traditional Western saddle making techniques, such as saddle stitching and wet molding. No sewing machines are used at any time. All color is applied by hand. Natural oils and waxes are hand applied as well. Edges are hand beveled and burnished.
Their process is all natural, using only oak tree bark to create a "tea" in which the hides are tanned. It takes almost 3 months to create an extremely high quality leather with a nice, tight grain. This leather takes oils evenly and retains it's form well over time.
All pieces are handmade in their Los Angeles studio.
