Manelos Leather, owned by Bryce Landers, creates bags with designs by local artists that are built to last. Landers collaborates with other makers in the leather community to ensure the quality and durability of her products. She uses different types of leather, such as English Bridle and vegetable-tanned, and is intentional about the materials she chooses for each item. Landers's career in leather started at the University of Cincinnati, and she has since expanded her business to include partnerships with local tattoo and fine artists. The products, including wallets and bags, feature engraved art on their surface, similar to traditional and linework tattoos. Landers's creative process involves trial and error until she achieves the desired result. She also works closely with a model for content creation to advertise her leather products.
