Where many luxury leathergoods purveyors have high-tech studios in Milan, Paris, and Manhattan, Martin Dingman can be found most days in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains. For Martin, the American heartland is both a source of inspiration and a place to stay grounded as he creates some of the finest handmade men's footwear, small leather accessories and belts found today.

"Our customers longed for shoes and accessories that made them feel special, refined but not over the top," says Martin. It seemed as though the choice was either basic American or fast-forward Italian. I offer looks that are new and fresh, yet are so timeless and elegant they can be passed down from one generation to the next." And that blend of two worlds makes Martin Dingman unique in the domain of luxury leathergoods.
