Corey and Dawn-Marie Godbe are the heart and hands behind Godbe Leather; where each piece tells a story from the past and carries it forward for new generations. While they see themselves as a small part of each piece’s journey, Corey and Dawn-Marie know the leather itself holds a legacy all its own—each handcrafted item is a chapter in a story that spans lifetimes.

Corey and Dawn-Marie’s journey began in a way familiar to many modern couples—they met online and quickly discovered a shared passion for creativity and craftsmanship. They’ve been together since 2019, building their life and their craft side-by-side. Their combined talents shape every piece they create. With Corey’s experience as a crane operator bringing a deep understanding of working with his hands. Known for his drive to continually refine his skills, Corey has honed each leatherworking process to deliver products of exceptional quality and durability.

Dawn-Marie’s artistic journey took a longer route to leather. Though she has a natural artistic flair from high school and a father who was an artist, she initially pursued accounting, dedicating over 20 years to the field. After partnering with Corey and immersing herself in leatherwork, she found herself drawn back to her artistic roots - now specializing in creating custom art pieces that reflect her unique vision and skill.

Together, Corey and Dawn-Marie blend quality craftsmanship with highly personalized artistry, crafting leather pieces that are not only beautiful but carry stories through generations. Their work celebrates the enduring appeal of leather and their commitment to creating something meaningful, beautiful, and lasting.
