Premium Leather Craft Hardware in Canada: Built for Professionals & Hobbyists

When you are crafting custom leather goods, your final piece is only as reliable as the metal that holds it together. At Leathersmith Designs, we have spent decades sourcing and distributing premium-grade leather craft hardware across Canada from our dedicated leather studio in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.

Whether you are a professional harness maker building heavy-duty tack, a saddler requiring rugged structural fasteners, a small commercial leather shop scaling production, or an enthusiastic leather hobbyist working on a weekend project—we supply the commercial-grade metal hardware your craftsmanship deserves.

Avoid unpredictable cross-border shipping delays and surprise customs duties. By choosing a trusted domestic supplier, you get fast, predictable shipping across the country, with Free Shipping to all Canadian provinces on orders over $199 (excluding promotional items).

Our Leather Craft Hardware Categories

Explore our deeply stocked inventory of resilient metal hardware, meticulously curated for leatherworkers, by leatherworkers:

  1. Solid Brass D-Rings & O-Rings

    Engineered for structural reliability and seamless aesthetics. We stock an extensive size run of solid cast brass D-Rings (DEE) ranging from 1/2" up to heavy-duty 1 1/2" profiles. For straps, pet gear, and bag construction, our O-Rings are available in premium solid cast brass and chrome-plated solid brass configurations (from 3/4" up to 2 1/2" inside diameters).
  2. High-Strength Rivets 

    •  Rapid Rivets & Double Cap Rivets: Perfect for quick, clean aesthetics on bag straps, holsters, and dog collars.
    •  Tubular Rivets: Exceptional for mid-weight applications requiring clean clenching.
    •  Solid Copper Rivets: The gold standard for heavy-duty harness making, saddlery, and high-stress points.
    •  Looking for installation tools? We supply matching professional Rivet Setting Tools and specialized anvils for a flawless finish.

  3. Commercial-Grade Snaps & Fasteners

    Keep your projects securely fastened with closures that don't fail over time. We distribute industrial Snaps, including heavy-duty Line 24 jacket snaps available in both regular and long-post gold variations to accommodate thicker full-grain leathers. We also carry a robust selection of Fasteners, Spikes, and Studs - including traditional button studs, industrial screw posts (Chicago screws), and spring holster clips.
  4. Swivel Snaps & Leash Clips

    Trusted by professional dog trainers, pet shops, and harness makers nationwide. Our Swivel Snaps & Leash Clips feature reliable internal spring mechanisms and heavy-duty swivel bases. Choose from classic short swivel snaps or premium solid brass square-eye scissor snaps (available in 3/4" and 1" sizes) engineered to withstand immense pulling force.
  5. Solid Brass Eyelets & Grommets

    Prevent leather stretching and tearing at cord holes and lacing points. We feature premium Eyelets & Grommets in durable finishes, including nickel-plated solid brass and gold narrow-flange options (such as size #00, 3/16" packages). Professional bench setters and hand tools are always available to guarantee clean, un-split professional rims.

Specialized Hardware for Heavy-Duty Trades

We understand that standard craft-store hardware doesn't hold up under professional trade conditions. That is why we purposefully stock specialized equipment tailored to demanding fields:

  • Saddlery & Harness Making: Solid cast brass rings, welded squares, heavy buckles, and high-purity copper rivets meant to endure weathering and massive tension.
  • Industrial & Workwear Applications: Stainless steel slides, rugged spring holster clips, and reinforced metal fasteners built for daily field abuse.
  • Small Leather Shops & Artisans: Split key rings, money clip bars, and specialty hardware elements optimized to help you finish clean collections efficiently.

Why Canadian Leathercrafters Choose Leathersmith Designs

  • Expert-Tested Inventory: Because our own leather artisans craft handmade leather goods on-site in our Dartmouth studio, every piece of hardware we sell has been rigorously benchmarked for durability, finish quality, and performance.
  • Deep Wholesale & Retail Stocking: Order exactly what your shop needs. We fulfill small pack orders for hobbyists up to volume hardware runs for scaling commercial operations.
  • 100% Canadian Owned & Distributed: Support local business while enjoying zero tariff risks, fast regional courier timelines, and transparent pricing in CAD.
