... overlooking downtown L.A.’s Fashion District!

Today marks another chapter in the expansion of ORTU Leather.
We’re adding several thousand square feet of Leather Supply showroom space in the penthouse of the same building where we already house our Leather Contracting operations.

This project came to fruition after countless conversations with our friend fashion designers, artisans, craft artists and interior designers. We’ve filled up with thousands of leather hides from dozens of tanneries collaborating with us on this project. French, Italian, Spanish, American, Argentine.. a world of hides to choose from!

Always Open Kimono

7/21/2015

 
Picture
There is something to be said about building a house on a solid foundation so it doesn't come sliding down Laurel Canyon on the 1st rainy day of the season...

Unlike the dozens of sweat shops all around Los Angeles, we comply with all Federal, State and City Regulations and Permits. Our front door is always open and from Workers compensation to Health licenses, everything is visible right from the entrance. We pay and treat our workers well and our clients can feel good about doing business with us.

Self sufficient. Self financed. We didn't use any bankers or private equity money to grow to where we are today. We used our own and no one tells us how to run this business.
Today ORTU Leather employs 50+ craftsmen specialized in the art of making leather garments and accessories on 4 floors spread across 2 buildings. 

We run this beautiful show, made in Los Angeles.
