Leather workers set up for themselves
Two leather workers who previously produced contract leathergoods for other companies have set up their own business.
Joe Lotuff and Frank Clegg, who now jointly own the Lotuff & Clegg business, have started production in the Fall River area, Massachusetts, once a well-known textile hub. The new company will produce a range of handmade travel bags and other leathergoods.
According to the company, the trend for fast-fashion and throwaway goods is dying out. It claims customers are now looking for products that will last a long time and will continue to be both practical and stylish long term. Each bag comes with a lifetime guarantee.
