our story

hey, i’m Trent.

i’m the heart and hands behind silhouette. every piece you see here is designed, cut, and stitched by me, one at a time, with a focus on modern accessories that carry a darker, bolder energy.

i’ve always loved leather. the weight of it, the smell, the way it ages. but most of what i saw out there felt dated, all brown tones and western vibes. that’s not me. i wanted something sharper, more minimal, something that looked like the future, not the past.

i started sewing around fifteen because i was obsessed with fashion and wanted to make my own pieces. they were loud back then, nothing like what i create now, but it taught me everything about form, detail, and patience. by twenty-one, i shifted fully into leathercraft. countless late nights, every dollar i had, all poured into building something that felt real.

here’s what matters. a lot of brands call themselves “luxury,” but they’re really just canvas and glue, factory made, mass produced, and stamped with “made in italy” to sound exclusive. that’s not silhouette. i make everything myself here in canada, from genuine italian full grain leather. real material, real work, no shortcuts.

silhouette isn’t about trends. it’s about creating essentials built to last a lifetime, pieces that wear in, not out. if something ever fails, i’ll make it right.

thank you for being here, for supporting small craftsmanship, and for seeing the value in what’s real.
