Our Story
 photo by Joe Ramos |
Paul Terwilliger established Large Leather in Amsterdam in 1975. He was born in Oakland, California and attended UC Berkeley. After traveling through Europe and all around India, Paul returned to Amsterdam to start his own business. Family reasons brought Paul back to the bay area in 1987, and for 25 years he exhibited his leather works at Arts & Crafts festivals in California, Arizona and Nevada. |
| Jessica Zoutendijk was born in the Netherlands but raised in New Guinea and Surinam. She joined Paul, and together they had two stores in the heart of Amsterdam for 12 years. |  |
| Now in Sonoma, Large Leather is a beautiful store right on the plaza in Sonoma, California. We design, make and sell quality hand crafted leather goods. Everything is completely made by us, and only made from leather without substitutes. We sell our own designs and do custom orders. | |
