Since Nokona first started making leather goods in 1926, the importance of leather quality has always been a top priority. Nokona's constant pursuit of excellence is shown in working with tanneries, both in the United States and globally, to obtain their highest quality hides, specifying the most rigorous standards in the industry for leather finishing, and constantly improving and innovating as they develop new leathers and products. For close to a century, this keen focus accounts for Nokona’s name being synonymous with leather and quality; today, Nokona's focus on leather is even greater than ever, as they expand their product and leather offerings.
