West Coast Leather

West Coast Leather was founded in May 2003 by Stanley Pas, the former Design Director & Marketing Director for the iconic brand North Beach Leather from 1985 to 2003. West Coast Leather features and supplies all of our branded products made in our Los Angeles-based factories within our retail store and wholesale accounts. West Coast Leather has used the latest technology to advance product lines for its online and instore collections for men and women. The company features lightweight lambskin breathable leather clothing and has worked with high-end brands on consulting product development. We helped one brand grow from 10 million in sales to over 50 million in sales in a 5-year business plan that incorporated leather, wool, and vegan sustainable leathers as well as sheep skin to produce apparel and broaden its distribution channels. In addition, we have manufactured products for department stores.

Our brand has received editorials in top fashion magazines, national TV, and featured films. We have been featured in GQ, Vogue, and Harpers Bazar Magazines. This past 2 years, we made 4 magazine covers for our men’s and women’s leather designs. In 2004, we were named "Emerging Fashion Brand" at the Las Vegas Magic Convention. We were also the winner for our men's and women's designer collections from the Vanguard Fashion Awards Summer 2021.

West Coast Leather has provided assistance to charities around the Bay Area, as well as in Southern California for over 20 years. Amongst the many charities we have provided clothing for is the Marin Breast Cancer Survivors event, where stars like Sammy Hagar, local prominent doctors, and Gavin Newsom have walked cancer survivors down the runway. We are so honored to be a part of an event that raises approximately $400k per event!
