In 1973, Dennis Levy decided to accept a set of leather-working tools instead of cash as payment for an odd job. He unexpectedly developed a love of leather-working. Inspired by the musical passion of his brother, lifelong guitarist Harvey Levy, he began creating guitar straps, as his brother took to the road to build a network of vendors. Within a few years, Dennis and his wife, Cheryl, had invested their life savings and formed Levy’s Leathers, sparking an enduring legacy.
Through a steadfast dedication to craftsmanship, an earnest desire to empower all types of musicians, and a belief in helping others embrace their craft in their own way, truly exceptional products have been created that today can be found on the shoulders of everyone from garage musicians to world-famous artists.
All Levy’s straps are crafted at the Levy’s factory in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Canada, 20 minutes from the northern coast and Northumberland Strait, and surrounded by beautiful, dense forest.
