Kolbe Leather Co.

Kolbe Leather Co. is a small family company that designs and handcrafts leather items in the manner of festina lente to bring one closer to that which is true, good, and beautiful.

Festina Lente

Latin for “make haste slowly”

Though it was an ancient Greek axiom, St. Maximilian Maria Kolbe adopted this motto for himself and his friars. This maxim stresses the importance of quieting one’s self in order to properly plan and take thoughtful, intentional action. 

At Kolbe Leather Co., we approach each handcrafted leather item with a mindset of “Festina Lente” to bring forth the very highest quality product that is both purposeful and beautiful; and, one that points to the Source of perfect beauty.
