OUR STORY
Meet the Owners
Levys Leather is owned and operated by Justin Levy and Sam Pastran. Levys Leather became an idea during the summer of 2022 to make affordable leather products for firefighters and first responders. Soon after stamps, tools, and leather were purchased and Justin got to work, watching videos, practicing, practicing, and more practicing. As time went on, word was starting to spread that he was making custom leather shields, and members from past and current fire departments were asking if he could make theirs. In June of 2023, Levys Leather LLC was filed in the State of Maryland.
Justin is a 5 year United States Marine Veteran who served with the 12th Marine Regiment and 1st Marine Raider Support Battalion, getting honorably discharged in 2017. Justin has been involved in the fire service since 2006 when he started as a volunteer in his hometown of Winter, Wisconsin. Justin has since moved throughout the states to where he currently resides in College Park, Maryland. Justin is an active member of Company 14, Berwyn Heights Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad inc, Home of No Hose Nation, located in Prince Georges County, Maryland, 5 miles north of our Nation's Capital in Washington D.C.
Sam is a Burn/Trauma Intensive Care Unit Nurse with MedStar Washington Center, located in the District of Columbia. Sam has been an avid "crafter" and dabbled with sewing, Cricut, and embroidering. She has always been up for any and all new craft projects, including making her own costumes for RunDisney races. And when presented with the idea of Levys Leather it was an automatic hell yes because why not combine a passion to do with your favorite human?
THANK YOU
Sam and Justin would like to thank you for learning about who they are and where the idea of Levys Leather LLC came from. Both are very excited to watch and see how the business will grow and to be able to supply products to those that help those in need.
