Leather Link Studio
Custom Safari Hide Heirloom Collection
Turn the Trophy of a Lifetime into an Heirloom for Generations
Your African safari represents years of planning, unforgettable memories, and perhaps the hunt of a lifetime. After the taxidermy is complete, many hunters are left with beautiful portions of their legally imported hides, or even full hides, that often end up sitting in storage. Rather than letting those treasured hides go unused, Leather Link Studio transforms them into handcrafted heirloom leather goods that celebrate your adventure and can be enjoyed, carried, and handed down for generations.
Each piece is individually handcrafted in our family workshop in High Point, North Carolina, where your safari hide is thoughtfully paired with premium full-grain leather and traditional craftsmanship. The result is a one-of-a-kind heirloom that tells your story every time you carry it.

How Our Process Works
-
Step 1
Contact Us
Send us photographs of your safari hide along with the products you'd like us to create to leatherlinkstudio@gmail.com. We'll discuss design ideas, leather selections and layout options once we are in possession of your hide.
-
Step 2
Ship Your Hide
Once we have a design plan in place, simply ship it to Leather Link Studio in High Point, North Carolina.
-
Step 3
Design Consultation
Every safari hide is unique. Its natural markings, grain, color variations, and scars tell the story of the animal.
Once your hide is on our cutting table, we'll schedule a personal phone consultation to discuss your vision for the finished piece. Together, we'll evaluate the hide's distinctive features, discuss design possibilities, and determine the best layout to showcase its natural beauty.
