Buxton Leather Details
In the late 1800's, Dana Buxton had built a small successful company distributing small notions. He was always trying out new business ideas and his most profitable one actually began with a small invention his wife designed. Dana lost his keys one day through a hole in his pants pocket. Julia decided that to prevent such a loss again she would make him a small leather pouch that would hold his keys. Due to the popularity of that small leather item a new business was born. Buxton Company was formally organized in 1898. In the early 1900's, Buxton became a highly respected leather goods manufacturer recognized for their quality leather goods. Top rated leathers and skilled craftsmanship were synonymous with the Buxton name. The Dopp brand was purchased in 1979. This gave the company another outlet for their personal leather goods line. Dopp was also known for their fine quality leathers and durable constructions and had been successful with it's Dopp kits. This was a great match and allowed the company to serve the consumer with choice accessories for their personal needs. Buxton's commitment to fine craftsmanship continues today and will continue for the next one hundred and ten years.
