Maine Leather Co.

A new day is dawning. I can barely put into words what Maine Leather Company means to me. For nearly a decade this has been my purpose, my place of solace and a source of endless joy. There is no limit to what you can learn from carving out your own path in life.

In recent years, I’ve spent more and more time out of my studio with the other love of my life, someone who, I can now publicly admit, I’ve been in love with since I was a teenager.

In this new chapter, I will continue to stitch leather goods by hand, in Italy for a bit, and then eventually back here in Maine. So, if anyone asks - let them know: Belle Hilmer is the one making all them sick hand stitched leather goods now, and forever.

I’ll be in my Portland studio until the end of October • Let me know if there’s anything you want me to make for you before I go ♥️

You still have time to place Christmas orders! If you’re leaning towards the Hand Stitched Tote • Kinsella Doctor Bag • Tote III please order by Monday 12/13 so I have time to make it for you! Locals who want to save time/money on shipping can use the code PICKUP at checkout and I’ll let you know when your order is ready!

Check my story for stocking stuffers!! Send me a screenshot of your donation receipt from any charity in Maine and I will send you your card wallet or key fob if your choice for free!! ‘Tis the season!!! 🎄

Today is the day I will not only make you something nice, but I’ll also ship it for free. Use code MONDAY21 for free shipping all day. Happy shopping! 😘 Photo by

What will yours say?! DM for inquiries 🎄

—> for full line up 🖤 You still have plenty of time to place your orders! Orders you’d like shipped should be in by 12/18 and you have until the 20th to place orders you want to pick up at my studio! (enter PICKUP code at checkout for those)

Bonus: there’s a collection called “one of one” which is sparse at the moment, but should be stocked up by the week of christmas, those totes, clutches, wallets and home goods will be ready to pick up within moments, so you (or your santa) can order as late as 12/23! 🎄
