CASTELLO DAVARG & Co.
Uniquely Designed. Expertly Crafted.
DaVarg is a family-owned small business specializing in handcrafted authentic leather goods, proudly designed and made in our workshop-studio in Dallas, Texas. Our journey began with a simple goal: to rediscover the timeless leather of our youth—the kind that could endure wear and tear, develop a unique patina, and evoke cherished memories with its earthy aroma. From well-worn leather folios and wallets to heirloom Bible cases, these items were made to last and were often passed down through generations.
However, finding authentic leather became increasingly difficult in a market flooded with faux and synthetic alternatives. Misleading terms like “bonded leather,” “genuine leather,” and “PU leather” added to the confusion, making it nearly impossible to discern real leather. Synthetic materials lacked the charm, durability, and ability to age gracefully like authentic leather. Instead, they would crack, peel, and quickly deteriorate, becoming a source of frustration and embarrassment. This experience inspired us to source genuine leather and create our own line of functional, handcrafted leather goods. As a business, we are guided by three core principles:
1. Authentic Vegetable-Tanned Top-Grain Leather
We source vegetable-tanned leather from reputable tanneries in Europe and the USA. This leather, processed with natural tannins, boasts unmatched durability, a distinctive aroma, and the ability to develop a unique patina over time.
2. Purposeful Functional Design
We believe in form following function. Each design accentuates the natural beauty of leather through purposeful cuts, stitch patterns, and shapes. We incorporate robust metal hardware like brass and stainless steel, ensuring that every detail serves a practical purpose while enhancing the product’s elegance.
3. Handcrafted in the USA
Our products are meticulously handcrafted using saddle-stitching techniques. While this process is more time-intensive, it results in stronger, more precise stitches and allows us to use thicker, high-strength threads for added character. In a world of mass imports and rebranding, we take pride in designing and crafting all our products in the United States.
At DaVarg, we are dedicated to creating leather goods that you’ll proudly carry and use daily. As they age gracefully with your wear and care, these items will become unique to you. To ensure your satisfaction, we offer a 45-day risk-free return policy—shop with confidence and delight in every product we make.
We sincerely appreciate your support and encouragement of small businesses like ours in the USA. To learn more about our journey, principles, and creations, we invite you to explore our journal blog.
