Our Story

Kelso Co began with the discovery of a grandmother’s old leather working tools. Years later, these tools still inspire the classic (or “old-school”) techniques used on every piece. Each item is hand-cut, hand-sewn (some larger items are sewn with a sewing machine) and hand-finished with the belief that our most essential possessions deserve carriers that are both elegant and durable. Better yet, responsibly sourced materials make for unique and lasting products that get better with age.

Kelso Co is a one woman shop out of Columbus, Ohio. Products are handcrafted in small batches. Be sure to check back often to see what’s new.
