WP Standard was founded by Ryan Barr, who began working with leather after time spent around music, craft, and product design. The brand evolved from early leather goods like guitar straps and wallets into a larger collection of bags, accessories, and slippers built around durability and timeless form.

WP Standard’s leather goods are made with substantial materials and a focus on craftsmanship. Their pieces are designed to be used, marked, softened, and changed by time. The point is not perfection forever; it is character earned through use.

At Mercer, we love WP Standard because the design has confidence. The shapes are modern but not trendy, the leather has presence, and the scale feels distinctly Texas: generous, sturdy, and ready to go somewhere.
