OUR STORY
Bergin Belle Studios: Keeping the Spirit of Handcrafted Leather Products Alive
Founded by Theresa Bergin Palmer, daughter of the renowned master saddle maker Martin J. Bergin, Bergin Belle Studios is a testament to a family legacy of craftsmanship and dedication to quality. Theresa's passion for working with leather was instilled at a young age as she assisted her father in his saddle shop, where he meticulously created saddles and other leather goods for over four decades.
In 2019, Theresa and her husband, Rich Palmer, came together to establish Bergin Belle Studio, combining their expertise in leather working and woodworking to handcraft each product with care. With a collective experience spanning over 40 years, they ensure that every item bearing the Bergin Belle name is of the quality you expect..
Operating as a small town family business, Bergin Belle Studios cherishes its deep-rooted connection to the community, with four generations of family members dedicated to preserving the art of handcrafted leather products. Visit our studio in historic Clarksville Missouri or explore our online store to discover our full line of eco-friendly cactus leather and natural leather goods, all proudly handmade in the USA.
