Daniel & Rachel Smucker

Owners

The husband-and-wife team at the helm of Urban Southern, Daniel and Rachel have built a life around handmade leather goods. When they’re not busy designing and crafting gorgeous leather creations, they love spending time together with their children, especially while outside, enjoying nature.

Growing up with 6 sisters, Daniel feels right at home in a business driven primarily by women. He and Rachel are extremely proud of the strong women that make up the Urban Southern team. They’re also deeply invested in the community the brand inspires among its followers.

Retail Manager/ Social Media Director

With a lifelong passion for horses, Bethany’s appreciation for quality leather started in the barn, from boots to saddles and everything in between.

As store manager, she keeps daily operations running seamlessly and brings a personal touch as the voice behind Urban Southern’s social media.

Outside of work, you’ll likely find her at the barn, curled up with a good book, or baking a sweet treat.

Jennifer's love for crafts and sewing first led her to the retail store to purchase some scrap leather.

She uses her years of sewing experience and perfectionist-personality to continue the tradition of quality that is at the core of every Urban Southern bag.

Production Assistant

Kathy grew up around the leather crafting industry, with her grandfather and now uncle operating the Smucker's Harness leather shop, and turning Urban Southern into what it is today. She enjoys the satisfaction of stitching and finds sewing to be a therapeutic outlet.⁠

When she's not sitting at a sewing machine crafting leather creations, she enjoys fine-tuning her photography skills, or pursuing her musical talents playing the piano and singing with friends.
