What You Get with Rogue Industries
Rogue Industries started in 2007 when founder Michael Lyons set out to solve his own problem: a bulky back-pocket wallet causing lower back pain. With no leather-working experience, he taught himself the craft and eventually patented a front-pocket wallet design shaped to fit your front pants pocket. Today, the brand produces dozens of leather goods from card cases to briefcases, all handcrafted in their Standish, Maine workshop. Their products are stocked in over five hundred stores across the USA. The company uses renewable energy, powering over 100% of its needs with solar power. Each piece is built with top-grain leather meant to withstand years of daily use, reflecting a philosophy of quality over quantity.
The Full Range of Rogue Leather Goods
Beyond the signature front-pocket wallet, Rogue Industries maintains a diverse product lineup. You'll find wallets in multiple designs, practical bags and tote bags, RFID sleeves for security-conscious travelers, handbags for everyday carry, card holders for minimalists, passport cases for frequent travelers, and coasters to protect your surfaces. Prices span from budget-friendly accessories at the lower end to premium leather briefcases and handbags at the higher range, giving shoppers options whether they're buying their first Rogue piece or building a collection. The variety means you can mix and match—pairing a slim card holder with a structured tote, or choosing matching wallet and passport case sets for coordinated travel gear. All items emphasize the same design-first approach and Maine-made craftsmanship that define the brand.
