Lakeland Leatherworks

Lakeland Leatherworks Lakeland Leatherworks, founded by Tom & Donna Hathaway, is the premier custom leather shop in the Memphis area. Come see our showroom Mon-Thursday 9am- 4pm

We specialize in hand made, custom leatherwork and case by case repair work. Tom began training in leatherwork at the age of eight, studying under Don Atkinson at Don’s Boot and Saddle shop in Trenton, Missouri. Don, incidentally, kept his horses at the home of Donna’s parents. Donna and Tom met while showing horses and decided to get married while they were in college. After college, Tom drifted

away from the leather world to serve the community as a police officer and Donna became a registered nurse. Over the years, Tom and Donna saw several career and education changes; Tom left the force and went into banking and then real estate while Donna obtained her PH.D and did research in the field of organ transplantation. In 2004, they decided to go into business together and open a leather shop. So they sought out Don Atkinson, who was living in Ingram, Texas the time, to further their knowledge and skills in leather crafting. Drawing on their experiences and creativity, Lakeland Leatherworks is able to offer a diverse collection of purses, belts, bags, clothing, chaps, and just about anything else made from leather.
