Geoffrey Franklin

Architect Geoffrey Franklin wanted a way to carry his lock on his bike but couldn't find what he was looking for on the market, so he combined his passion for traditional mediums and his design background to create his own leather U-lock holster. He then followed it up with handlebar wraps. And then a portage strap to carry his bicycle. Soon stunning leather and wood accessories that were functional yet beautiful filled his home. He is the author of Idiot's Guides: Leather Crafts.
