who are we?

Owner Ryan Briggs is a South Carolina native, originally from Spartanburg. Briggs currently lives and works with his wife, Rachel, in Goose Creek, just outside of Charleston, SC. Besides using his hands to create gorgeous leather products, Ryan’s biggest passion in life is skateboarding. In his free time he enjoys grinding coping, eating burritos, and squirrel-watching.

Ryan is self-taught and has been working with leather since 2014 when he started making belts and wallets for his skater friends. In 2019 he joined the J. Stark team and quickly became the sole designer and maker of all products in their leather department. At the end of 2024, Ryan left J. Stark so that he and Rachel could dive head first into growing Briggs Leather Co.
