Garage stitching to $100 million
Curtis Matsko started sewing journals in a one-car garage in Portland's Sellwood neighborhood in 2015; he still runs the company, which reports passing $100 million in sales.

Brand facts
Portland Leather Goods is a direct-to-consumer leather label founded in 2015 by Curtis Matsko, who started out stitching journals in a one-car garage in Portland's Sellwood neighborhood. Its range covers full-grain and pebbled-leather crossbody bags, totes, duffels, backpacks, wallets, belts and journals, cut in plain, hardware-light shapes and offered in an unusually broad spread of colors.
