Holly Kimola
Leathersmith
Holly Kimola has been a self-professed “horse person” her whole life. The connection between horses and leather being obvious, upon moving to Fernie in 2011, Holly started hanging out with an old cowboy named Brian Ironmonger (from “Brian’s Saddle Shop” fame). With these casual lessons, began a love of tooling, cutting and experimenting with leather. Kimola acquired a vintage sewing machine intended for fixing canvas sails on boats and has now expanded her portfolio to include making bags, gloves chaps and so much more!
