Brand facts
Pigeon Tree Crafting is a one-person leather goods workshop run by Isaac Paul, who founded the label in 2011 in Los Angeles as a production company before shifting to handmade accessories.

Belts are the signature, including a patented double-prong buckle, alongside wallets, cardholders, keychains, cuffs and glasses cases. Belts are made to order with multi-week backlogs. Paul has announced a move from Denver to Savannah, Georgia.
