Arbor Trading Post

We are proud to share that Isabel has completed the Social Enterprise Collective mentorship program from the Center for Social Enterprise Development (CSED).

This program brought together mission-driven businesses working to create economic opportunity and positive community impact.

Arbor Trading Post was honored to be part of the 2026 cohort, learning from incredible mentors and connecting with other social entrepreneurs across Michigan.

Our mission remains the same:
Create beautifully handcrafted leather goods while supporting local artisans and building sustainable economic opportunities in our community.

Thank you to CSED and the amazing cohort members for an inspiring experience.

The journey continues.

One hundred miles. One unforgettable accomplishment.

We were honored to craft a custom full-grain leather belt to carry this Hennepin 100 finisher buckle for years to come. Achievements like this deserve to be worn, remembered, and celebrated.

Custom projects are some of our favorites. If you have a meaningful buckle or piece you’d like built into something lasting, we would love to work with you.
