Hand-Sewn Leather Baby Moccasins with Tie Closure
Details
Founded in 2009 by maker duo Blaine and Mackenzie, The Local Branch grew from a creative partnership into a small-batch leather and apparel brand. Its storefront is in Skaneateles, New York, with its own leather and canvas goods crafted in Upstate New York. The founders wanted to support themselves through meaningful work with their hands. Their approach centers on American manufacturing, considered purchases, durable construction and goods that can be cared for and repaired.
Choose fringed leather moccasins that are cut and sewn in Upstate New York. A tie closure helps adjust the fit for the selected baby or child size.
Use the child's foot measurements alongside the maker's size information. Age names are approximate; checking length and width helps select a more useful fit as feet grow.
