When Nordstrom needed six sets of 92 inch tall door handles last minute for their NYC flagship store they called on us to supply them.

We wrapped them with a 9-10 ounce American Vegetable tanned leather, two needle hand-stitched the seams and then custom embossed each left side handle with the signature of the late Blake W. Nordstrom, a gesture, requested by the Nordstrom family, as a nod to Blake’s pivotal roll in bringing the 320,000 square foot store to fruition.

“I found Architectural Leather Works through another custom leather company while looking for someone to handle a rather bespoke project with a tight timeline.
I emailed Julian through the website and he responded very quickly. I called to review the details of the complicated ask and share the very short lead time, which I was certain would be a problem based on the previous calls I had made on the same subject. ALW graciously accepted the project and they immediately became an extension of our internal team working to pull off this difficult task. Their flexibility, communication and follow through were amazing and we could not have asked for better partner on the project. The beauty, craftsmanship and attention to detail on the final product is beyond our wildest expectations and I am so thankful to Julian and Juliet for everything!“
