Phee's Original Goods Timeline
Flick through the next few slides to find out more about our journey. From the humble beginnings of a Tandy DIY kit, to make-shift basement leather workshops and everything in between.
it all started with
a belt
Anyone who's driven Cape Breton's Cabot Trail has seen the Leatherworks Studio. Owned by John Roberts at the time, I was blown away by the level of his craft. It was one of his braided belts that got me hooked. I was itching to make one for myself, so I got a beginners kit and started learning for myself.
I still haven't made of those belts, but I have been lucky enough to work with, learn from and enjoy a coffee or two with John over the years. A nicer man you can't find. You'll find Leatherworks under the care of Jolene today and still making beautifully handcrafted goods.
Maybe I'll make that belt some day.
Idle hands led to
Working with clo
In the spring of 2016 I was working construction, building skateparks, and skating a lot. Just as construction season was starting that year I broke my foot while skating and had to lay low for a few months.
In my downtime I turned to leather working and looked up Kyle Closen, a leatherworker in downtown Edmonton. I hobbled into his shop just as he was in need of an extra set of hands and took to working at Clo's General Leather Co. as I was healing up.
This internship was invaluable and helped me set my sights on where I am today.
From Collingwood to
The Customs House
Labour day weekend, Robyn and I had the half-ton Hyundai packed to the roof and headed east from Ontario to Cape Breton.
We pulled up to the Customs House a few days later, ready to move into the "broom closet".
The Customs House was an incredible experience and gave us our first crack at running a shop, curating a space, and getting Phee's Original Goods off the ground.
If you find yourself in Port Hawkesbury be sure to stop in and see what's happening there these days!
back to where it all began
Sydney, NS
We rolled into Sydney at lunch time the day after a big snowstorm, full of piss and vinegar and raring to go. Our new workshop was double the size, with two windows overlooking George Street, and the barn I'd first started leatherwork in all those years ago. The move was just a few weeks before the pandemic hit and we had no idea what we were in for.
Thankfully, you wonderful folks pulled through for us little guys. After being closed for over a month, we reopened and have kept busier than we've ever been. So much so that we've had to move into an even bigger workshop where you'll find us today.

a wallet for every pocket
STRAIGHT FROM THE HORSES MOUTH
The only one thing that my son inlaw said it that he has no place to see his son plcture when he opens his wallet, and I understand that, my wallet has his picture when I open my wallet and that is dear to me🥰🥰🥰 love love the wallet, great to deal with another great hand made product from Canada
Thank you
Absolutely beautiful finished product. The colours are even nicer than expected after playing around in Paint trying out different colourways! It's very professionally built and will clearly hold up to the test of time... And will continue to improve with age!
The Bucklaw is a fantastic layout for an everyday wallet that doesn't get loaded down with cards, and it's definitely worth it to build your own custom for you! Highly recommend.
Very beautiful finish, great choice of tasteful hardware, top quality leather!
As the title says this is amazing quality! I expected as much but was taken back at how great it actually was. Perfect minimalist wallet fits in my front pocket without taking hardly any space. Mine holds 6 cards and some paper with ease. It's a very nice soft and supple leather that started to break in right away. Great customer service and also hassle free shipping which is nice to.
Thanks Kyle and team at Phee's Original Goods -- This Fly Fishing Wallet is really a great product that was part of a gift. It's unwrapping was met with 'ooo's' and 'aah's', so design and quality cannot be understated! An important feature we realized when we went out the next day: The wallet fits perfectly in chest/hip wader pockets. Great attention to detail. Kyle was a pleasure to connect with, and we'll definitely be back for more of his fine craftsmanship!
Best,
Ryan
Excellent belt made from quality material. Obviously care and pride went into making this. Can’t recommend it enough.
I could not love this more! It is beautiful, it is functional and it is very well made.
Beautifully made keychain. Added the free 3 letter monographing with no hassle at all. I got it as a gift and it was very well received! The pictures on the website definitely help with figuring out how the keys should go into it. So happy to support this local company!
It was time for a new wallet so I ordered the Rosedale and Lennox wallets. They are killer!!! Love the embossing on them and they are super rugged. Phee, you and the crew never cease to amaze me with your quality and attention to detail. Thank you for the great products and fast(arrived early) friendly service. So happy to have more Phee products in my collection.
We bought the Phee's Dog leash for Penny, our Black Lab "Covid puppy". The leash is comfortable, sturdy and looks great. Penny is the envy of the dog park!
I purchased this belt as a birthday present for my husband. He loves it. It looks and feels great. I would definitely buy again!
Purchased as a birthday gift, arrived in really sweet packaging- well made and my husband loved it! So accommodating and easy to deal with! Highly recommended 🤩
Definitely 5 out 5 stars. Great quality wallet , Kyle did everything he promised me and the wallet arrived just as he said. Get your wallet here 😁
Great wallet, great service. I had this wallet shipped to Ottawa and it is the perfect fit. It carries my cards and my cash without taking up too much space. It is well made and looks good.
