Welcome to the story of Gaucha Designs—a tale of passion, perseverance, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. It's a journey that started with a single vision: to create the best leather tool belt on the market, a product that is as stylish as it is practical. Today, our tool belts are jet-setting around the globe, finding homes in Australia, the USA, the Netherlands, Argentina, New Zealand, and more. But let's rewind a bit and tell you how it all began.
The Seed of an Idea: Tool Belts
Our founder, Mariana, is the heart and soul of Gaucha Designs. She saw a glaring gap in the market—while there were plenty of tool belts out there, none of them were quite right.
They were either too clunky, too ugly, or just plain impractical. Mariana believed that a tool belt could be both fashionable and functional, something that professionals and hobbyists would be proud to wear.
Armed with this vision, she set out to design a leather tool belt from scratch. The idea was simple yet ambitious: create a tool belt that not only looked good but could also stand up to the rigors of various professions. Whether you’re a gardener, a florist, a landscape designer, an artist, or just someone who needs a handy place for their tools, this tool belt would be for you.
The Hustle for Quality for Our Tool Belts
The journey from idea to product was anything but easy. Mariana spent over six months reaching out to leather manufacturers around the world. It was a process of constant hustling—countless emails, phone calls, and samples that didn’t quite hit the mark. Finding the right manufacturer was like searching for a needle in a haystack, but Mariana's determination never wavered.
Finally, after a year of relentless effort, we found our match. The perfect blend of quality craftsmanship and ethical production standards. It was a pivotal moment that set the stage for what Gaucha Designs would become.
Expanding Gaucha's Leather Products Horizons
From the get-go, the plan was never to stop at tool belts. Mariana had dreams of expanding into other niches and markets, creating a range of products that combined style and functionality. And while we’re still a small team, each of us wears multiple hats, driving the company forward with a shared passion.
But make no mistake—Mariana is the powerhouse behind Gaucha Designs. She juggles designing, sourcing, financing, accounting, marketing, and content creation, often all in a single day. Her dedication is nothing short of inspirational, and it’s her vision that continues to steer the company toward new horizons.

Our growth has been steady, and our tool belts are now beloved in countries around the world.

It's humbling and exhilarating to see our products being used and loved by people from such diverse backgrounds.
