Meet the Brand

**Orox Leather Co.**
It all started in 1933, with a family and a baseball team. Don Felipe Martinez Audelo began developing custom-made leather baseball gear and belts for his own team: Los Audelos. His sons grew up playing baseball with him. Off the field, they worked together learning the family craft of making traditional leather sandals and accessories.
As Felipe grew into old age, his middle son, Don Pepe took on the family business, and with the help of the oldest of Pepe’s 14 children, he grew the business. Don Pepe's tenth son, José was eight years old when he began to work in the family business. José grew a natural, ingrained love for leather at that early age. He developed an ability to conceptualize designs in his mind. He applied this skill in the making of footwear, bags and complex murals tooled into leather.

Orox’s Goal

We aim to create high quality durable goods that, while stylish, don’t go in and out of style. We hope that our products will be used and loved for years, and eventually passed on to the next generation. Scratches and scuffs, a physical record of experiences and adventures, will add character and beauty.

Leather is an ever-changing material that continues to evolve as it ages and acquires a patina of use. Making products that last is part of our Mexican heritage. In Oaxaca during the 60's and 70's, fast fashion didn’t exist, and a pair of shoes or a belt needed to last a long, long time. With care our products will last for generations and become treasured heirlooms.
