The World’s First and Only Leather to receive a Declare Label. Crafted in Germany from premium hides, Aspen is an award-winning leather. Marked by an exquisitely soft hand and beautiful pronounced grain, it is a pure aniline, heavier weight leather that exudes casual elegance. After tanning, hides are left in their natural, open-pored state and then finished using real beeswax. The end result is a leather with an expressive surface and velvety hand that will develop a striking patina with wear and with age. The Olive Green Collection was the winner IIDA/HD Product Design Competition – 2017

About
Moore and Giles.

See all Moore and Giles products

We are a leather company. Donald Graeme Moore founded Moore & Giles in Lynchburg, Virginia, during the Great Depression. Previously a purchasing agent at the Craddock-Terry Shoe Corporation, he lost his job in a massive layoff catalyzed by the time’s poor economic conditions. Originally a supplier of “findings,” the new company he created sold a broad range of components used in footwear constructions to manufacturers in Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania.

When Donald Moore’s son-in-law, W. Vernon Giles, joined the company in 1935, the name was changed to Moore & Giles. In the 1950s, sales territories were expanded to North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida. Donald Moore remained with Moore & Giles until his retirement in 1966, at the age of 88. In the same month, Moore’s grandson, Donald Moore Giles, joined the company. He served Moore & Giles for over 50 years.

Currently, Moore & Giles employs more than 100 people in its headquarters in Forest, Virginia, with representation in every major metropolitan area. We also have strategic partnerships in England, Germany, France, United Arab Emirates, Singapore, Hong Kong, Russia, South Korea and Turkey.

Our mission is to enrich, inspire and serve our customers, our people and our community. We value kindness, perseverance, authenticity, creativity and humility.
