Now offering Classic Paris Club Chairs & Ottomans. Our History
In the early 1970s, Rick Mullen was an independent representative marketing custom furniture to architects and designers. He became intrigued by the leathers coming into the factory. Some were wonderfully luxurious, while others looked and felt like low grade vinyl, although both were still “leather”. His quest began in that instant,
when his curiosity and entrepreneurial spirit took over. Our Journey
A year of researching passed, and his questions remained unanswered. Trips to libraries and interviewing professionals did not help as much as anticipated. So, he visited a tannery in Switzerland. Its fourth generation expert / owner had his answers. He told him to focus on the acquisition of the best raw material and the true art of tanning. Before long, he was prepared to offer leather with performance requirements needed by customers. As his leather company was born, so was his daughter Keleen. He had a company and the perfect name for it – Keleen Leathers. Our Company
