Jon Hart Design
Jon Hart Design, or simply Jon Hart is a privately owned American luxury leather and canvas bag manufacturing company based in San Antonio, Texas. It specializes in canvas and leather luggage and travel bags. Since its inception in 1973, Jon Hart has manufactured their product, by hand, with specialized craftsmen & women in the United States[1].
History[edit]
Jon Hart Design was founded in 1973 by Don Snell[2] in Houston, Texas.[3] Snell acquired a tent and awning manufacturing business and started making bags and luggage out of excess canvas and other materials. The bags, which combined canvas with leather, quickly became the main focus of the business. To handle growing demand, Snell moved the company to Dallas.[3] The name derives from Snell's "heart" keychain and a change to his first name.[4]
He sold the company in the late 1980s to focus on his acting career, and the company moved again, this time to San Antonio, Texas.[4] In 2017 the company moved manufacturing from a 24,000sqft warehouse[5] near downtown to a facility three times the size on the other side of the street.[4]
