In Antigonish, Nova Scotia, 1973, with a handful of leatherworking tools, a few hides of leather and the exuberance of youth Denis Levy began crafting and selling a variety of leather goods: belts, watchbands, gun slings and yes – guitar straps. A few years later he met his wife Cheryl Clarke, and together they invested their life savings and hearts and began building the company millions of players have come to know and trust today as Levy’s Leathers Ltd.
