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

1. American Bench Craft ($1.2M/year)

Jason and his brother Chris came up with the idea for American Bench Craft after Jason's wallet fell apart and he envisioned a seamless leather wallet using rivets instead of stitching. They launched a Kickstarter campaign in 2014, sold $20K worth of products in 30 days, and have since grown the business into a seven-figure company with over 100 products. They plan to double their revenue in the next year and build a custom workshop with fun amenities for their employees.

How much they make: $1.2M/year
Current team size: 8
