About The Acadian

 

various leather goods in a flat lay

The Acadian is our tribute to our adopted state of Maine. From its rugged coastline to its pine laden forests, Maine will forever hold a special place in our hearts. 

The Acadian creates leather and canvas goods from our workshop on the coast of Maine. Our handcrafted wallets, bags, cases, and more blend high quality with Maine’s unique charm.

Each piece tells a story — whether it’s a journal inspired by a local hero or a bag handcrafted for an aspiring author. We embrace the beauty of imperfection, celebrating the Japanese wabi-sabi philosophy that gives handmade items their character and soul.

Founder Chris Cavallari’s journey began with a passion for leather and woodcrafting, drawn to the process and the joy of creating. His connection to Acadia National Park and its inspiration led him to move to Maine and establish The Acadian.

The Acadian builds heirloom quality products designed to last that, with care, can be passed down through generations.

Belt Sizing

To size your new Acadian belt:

  1. Lay your current belt on a flat surface.
  2. Measure from where the leather bends back on itself at the buckle to the hole that you use most often.
  3. The number you get corresponds with the size of The Acadian belt. 
This way of measuring gives a more accurate and forgiving measurement for your belt. It may not match your pant size or current belt size.
