Endurance Leather & Canvas, Ltd. is owned and operated in northern Colorado by David Malpas. David found his passion of working with leather after making his first leather tote bag as a gift for his mother. Soon after, family and friends started to request tote bags along with other leather items.
David has a diverse background having worked as a wildland firefighter for the US Forest Service in the desert southwest, and building remote field camps for the National Science Foundation - Polar Programs, both in Antarctica and Greenland.
Because of these experiences, amongst others, he understands the need to rely on what you carry with you. Having a piece of gear or equipment fail in the field can be a nightmare, therefore every product he makes is constructed with durability in mind.
