Est. 2016 — Chicago, IL — Full-Grain Leather
Poorly Named. Exceptionally Crafted.
The name's a joke. The leather isn't. Full-grain goods made with more care than we'll ever admit.
// 001 — The Collection
Full-grain leather. Honest pricing. No artisan origin stories — just goods built to last.

// 002 — Who We Are
Poorly Made Goods was born from a simple idea: stop pretending. Most leather brands want you to believe their wallets were forged in a Florentine dungeon by a 90-year-old artisan. Ours are made by us, in Chicago, with a decent number of YouTube tutorials.
We use real full-grain leather, real thread, and real skill. No excuses. No fluff. No origin stories. Just quality goods made by real people who are still figuring it out — and proud of it.

We are not taking questions at this time.
Appreciate the sentiment though.
