Our Company

How It Started

DLM Leather began with one duck call laynard and one determined toddler. My daughter loved playing with her dad’s lanyard but no matter how hard I searched, I couldn’t find a kid-sized version that was safe, fun, and actually fit. So I started making my own.

That one handmade duck call lanyard sparked something bigger a brand inspired by family, built on creativity, and rooted in the outdoors.

How It’s Going

Today, DLM Leather is all about designing soft, outdoorsy gear for little ones who live wild and the parents who raise them. From bamboo sleepers to hunting-inspired sets, we make clothes that are practical, personal, and always a little different.

No two littles are alike and we think their outfits shouldn’t be either. 

A Note From Shelby

If you’ve ever messaged me, you already know I’m a talker 😅
I love connecting with the people behind the orders and yep, I’ll probably ask for pictures of your kid wearing their new outfit because I seriously can’t get enough of them.

What started with a duck call lanyard and a curious toddler has turned into something way bigger than I imagined. And it’s all because of folks like you showing up and supporting this wild little business of mine.

So from one busy parent to another: thanks for being here. Thanks for cheering us on. And thanks for raising your own little wild ones, they’re what this is all about.
