About Pfarrside Creations
Pfarrside Creations is a husband-and-wife leather workshop in Colorado Springs run by Elliot and Maria Pfarr.
Originally from Baltimore, Maryland, our journey into leatherwork began with a simple appreciation for well-made shoes and bags. We were always curious about the craftsmanship behind quality leather goods and what made them last. That curiosity eventually led us to try working with leather ourselves.
What started as an experiment quickly became a passion for craftsmanship and the process of transforming raw leather into something functional and lasting. Over time, that passion grew into Pfarrside Creations.
Our Craft
Together, we handcraft durable leather goods using traditional techniques, transforming high-quality leather into functional pieces designed to last. Each item is carefully cut, assembled, and finished by hand, ensuring every piece carries the character and attention to detail that only handmade work can offer.
Our goal is simple: create goods that age beautifully and become part of your everyday life. Over time, leather develops a unique patina, telling the story of the places you’ve been and the moments you’ve carried it through.
Inspired By Colorado
Now based in Colorado Springs, we draw inspiration from the landscapes and community around us. From the red rock formations of Garden of the Gods to the creativity of the local maker community, these influences shape both our craft and our mission.
The natural beauty of Colorado reminds us why quality, durability, and thoughtful design matter. We believe the goods you carry every day should be built to last and designed to accompany you through life’s journeys.
Giving Back
Pfarrside Creations believes businesses should support the communities and landscapes that inspire them. That’s why a portion of every sale is donated to local nonprofits.
In 2026, we proudly support the Garden of the Gods Foundation, helping preserve one of Colorado’s most iconic natural landscapes.
Garden of the Gods has long been a place of inspiration, creativity, and exploration for our community. By supporting its preservation, we hope to help protect the natural beauty that makes Colorado Springs such a special place to live, work, and create.
Our Mission
Through our work, we aim to create meaningful goods that combine craftsmanship, durability, and purpose. Every piece we make is designed to travel through life with you while supporting the community that inspires us.
