About

My name is Thomas Hall, and I am the craftsman behind Studio Hall. My wife, Courtney, and our dog, Belle, are my whole world. We recently moved from North Texas, where I grew up and lived a 7-year teaching career, to beautiful Charlotte, North Carolina. Our family loves to read, craft, cook, and discover new board games. Ours is a home filled with laughter, and we will always beat any obstacle together.

I started working with leather in 2019 because it seemed like an incredible way to combine my love of design, photography, teaching, and writing. What began as a stumbling, halting hobby very soon led to hours upon hours of videos, blog posts, research, and practice. I had no idea leather craft would become such a passion. After teaching high school English for seven years, I took the leap into small business ownership, and now focus on building Studio Hall (formerly T.C. Hall Leather) full time.

Truth and transparency are extremely important to me, which is why I use the very best full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather, solid brass, and stainless steel. I source my materials from only the most trusted tanneries and suppliers who have commitments to sustainability and innovation. When you purchase a product that I make, you are supporting not only me, but other artisans who care deeply about what they put into the world. Leather is one of our oldest resources, and its durability, class, and quality cannot be matched by synthetics. I take the time to create products with materials that rival those of designer fashion brands, and I take pride in passing along pieces of heirloom quality.

Each and every product is assembled and stitched by hand. I have a selection of ready-to-ship wallets, and an ever-rotating menu of leather for custom orders. I do accept commissions for leather designs.

I truly appreciate you taking the time to get to know me and my family, and for learning about the handmade products that I love so deeply. Take care!
