In 1990, American Leather was founded on the revolutionary idea that custom leather furniture could be made and shipped in three weeks or less. In the 25 years since American Leather has evolved from setting a precedent with that quick-ship delivery to set the standards by which all other custom furniture manufacturers are measured.

While impressive, our growth can't be measured merely by headcount and the size of our factory. It is measured by our innovation, technological advances, and performance. It is measured by the dynamic collections we introduce each year. It is measured by our commitment to and the loyalty of our customers. And finally, it is measured by our resolve to do the right thing: maintaining U.S. manufacturing jobs and enhancing the quality of life of our employees even as the industry continues to turn to offshore manufacturing.

Located in Southwest Dallas on Mountain Creek Parkway and Interstate 20, American Leather is proud to offer a diverse and positive work environment, a comprehensive benefits package, which includes health and dental insurance, 401K plan, a bonus incentive and an entrepreneurial culture that promotes and rewards excellence, and an on on-site wellness center.
