A family-run ranch management company has built a side business making beautiful accessories that work just as well for a city dweller as they do for a cowboy or girl.
When Tess Leach and her sister were little girls, their dad, a lifelong rancher who goes by Big Duke, used to give them handmade presents. They were carved leather bags, the half-circle kind that ranchers typically use to carry a tea canister or various other supplies for a day out riding. Duke Phillips was born on a ranch in Mexico and learned the craft of leather making from old-line professionals who would pass through to help fix bridles or tacks.
Here’s a look inside the ranch, from the craft table where the resident dog Tickles surveys the work to the land outside being tended by a new generation who wants to keep American ranching and leather-making traditions alive.
