Eratzi Neftali Garcia

In 2020, Eratzi was 18 years old and had recently graduated from high school the previous year. He had long held a passion for leather goods, including jackets, bags, and boots; however, due to his minimum wage employment, he found it challenging to afford the prices associated with these products. Additionally, he often struggled to find a design that resonated with his personal aesthetic and met his practical needs for daily use. In May of that year, Eratzi lost his job due to the impact of the pandemic. Faced with an abundance of time and some savings, he dedicated himself to acquiring the skills necessary for leathercraft. Ultimately, he began to create the bags he desired to wear. Following a two-year mission for the LDS Church, Eratzi launched Eratzi Neftali, a brand with the aspiration of becoming a prominent Mexican-American luxury leather goods brand.

Leathercraft is a distinguished trade and art form that has diminished alongside the rise of vinyl and plastics. As a result, sourcing durable and high-quality bags has become increasingly difficult. We are committed to reviving traditional craftsmanship and delivering exceptional leather goods to the world, ensuring that timeless quality and artistry are once again celebrated.
