Our Story

Preserving the art of handmade leather goods, one stitch at a time.

When you purchase a wallet from Old Salt Artisan Goods, it may not be the last wallet you’ll ever buy, but it will undoubtedly be the last wallet you’ll ever NEED to buy. 

Welcome to Old Salt Artisan Goods, a distinguished leather goods shop founded by Matthew Pradon in the beautiful seaside community of Ponte Vedra, Florida. Matthew’s journey in leatherworking began with his quest for uncompromising quality that would meet his exacting standards. Disillusioned by the lack of durability in even the most expensive wallets, he resolved to create his own – and he did. This beloved hobby turned into a full-time pursuit in 2023 after Matthew’s retirement from military service.

Matthew is proud to offer a selection of core items for sale and limitless possibilities for custom leatherwork, including wallets, watch straps, key chains, bags, totes, purses, journals, camera straps – the sky is the limit. Explore the shop and see how Matthew’s love for leatherworking shines through in the impeccable craftsmanship and attention to detail evident in each product. Experience the Old Salt difference and embark on a journey of quality, authenticity, and enduring style.
