About

Artisan Leatherwork with Tradition and Innovation I’m Greg Schmidt, the founder and artisan behind LoreCraft Atelier, a business born out of a passion for handcrafted leatherwork and a deep respect for the timeless techniques that define this craft. Based in Manitoba, my work is inspired by both the traditions of leatherworking and the unique stories each piece can tell. At LoreCraft Atelier, I create a wide range of leather goods, from custom-fit belts to wallets, journals, purses, and more. Every piece is designed to be both beautiful and functional, made with the highest quality materials, and infused with attention to detail. I specialize in bag making, and made-to-measure products, like belts and sandals, which I craft on-site at markets, giving customers a truly personalized experience. Crafting with Purpose The heart of my work lies in blending traditional techniques with modern design, honoring the rich cultural heritage of leathercraft while ensuring each product fits seamlessly into everyday life. Every stitch, cut, and engraving is a reflection of the time-honored process that I respect deeply. Community-Driven I’m proud to be part of the Red River Metis community and to share my work at a wide array of events and spaces like the Metis Marketplace. My journey as an artisan is fueled by a desire to connect with customers, offer them a truly unique and custom product, and celebrate the craftsmanship that has been passed down through generations. Whether you’re looking for a practical piece or a personalized, one-of-a-kind item, I invite you to stop by and see the work firsthand. I look forward to bringing a piece of LoreCraft Atelier into your life!
