Here are some real life success stories of starting a leather bags business:

1. Faire Leather Co. ($540K/year)

Ryan and Joseph came up with the idea for Faire Leather Co. after realizing that there weren't any bags on the market that effectively solved the problem of organizing daily essentials while still looking polished on the outside. They used their traditional know-how and expertise from Joe's family-owned leather factory to design and create functional, sleek leather goods that combined style with maximum function. After a successful Kickstarter campaign, they hit their two-year sales target of $1 million in just 10 months and have generated a total revenue of $2.3 million to date.

How much they make: $540K/year
How much did it cost to start: $180K
Current team size: 7
