Old Stud Handmade is an artisanal leather accessories brand, producing luxury studded accessories since 1989.

California craftsman Jeff Fuller launched Old Stud with the goal of creating unique handmade products in a world dominated by mass production factories. Starting with the vintage belts he'd been collecting for decades, Fuller mastered time-honored leatherworking methods and began creating his own hand-studded designs. The resulting belts and cuffs were soon recognized as truly unique, and caught the attention of fashionistas and celebrities around the world. But the pieces were hard to find – sold only in small boutiques.

Today, Old Stud is a family-owned business – purchased from Fuller in 2024. We have preserved the brand’s commitment to handcrafted quality and traditional techniques. At the same time, we launched a shoppable website where customers can select their favorite styles and sizes and have them shipped directly to their home. We continue to handcraft unique and eye-catching pieces using full-grain leather out of our Norwalk, CT studio, in addition to a large collection of vintage pieces inherited from Fuller, as well as customization options. Inspired by vintage heritage, Old Stud designs appeal to fans of Western style, rock & roll chic, and classic fashion. 

Our belts and cuffs are made-to-order and handcrafted — one stud at a time, so each piece is truly one-of-a-kind.  While we deliver quickly, we are the distinct opposite of fast fashion.

Fans of Old Stud include Billy Bob Thornton, Lady Gaga, Leonardo DiCaprio, Anne Hathaway, Madonna, Mick Jagger, and more.
