Braided Leather Slide

Handmade in the Last Chance Textiles studio using a traditional sailor knot technique, the Braided Leather Slide is a small object with a lot of intention behind it. All leather, naturally textured, and beautifully simple — it's the kind of finishing touch that makes a scarf or bandana feel like it was always meant to be worn exactly this way.

ABOUT LAST CHANCE TEXTILES

Last Chance Textiles is the Portland, Oregon studio of designer and textile researcher Lindsey Fout, whose Appalachian upbringing informs an approach to making that values integrity, utility, and craft done right. Every pattern begins as a deep dive into historical textile traditions from around the world — hand-drawn, carefully researched, and designed to stand the test of time.

The brand works with GOTS-certified organic cotton, naturally dyed silk, and handwoven khadi, and holds its manufacturing partners — from a SMETA-certified factory in Mumbai to independent artisan collaborators in smaller workshops — to ethical labor standards with no middlemen and no pushing back on fair pricing. All finished pieces are washed, pressed, quality-checked, and hand-labeled in Portland.
