Thank you for the review! You’re absolutely right—there really is nothing that compares to the feel and smell of high-quality, full-grain leather.

We love the idea of this becoming a legacy piece that you can pass down to your kids. That’s exactly why we build our leather goods the way we do; they’re meant to gain character and outlast us all. And honestly, stropping your knives during a Zoom meeting is a legendary way to stay productive!

We’re glad to be a part of your daily workspace.

It's great to hear from someone like you, Ethan, who recognizes that quality craftsmanship we put so much focus on with The RAW EDGE MOUSEPAD.

We appreciate the feedback about how it came exactly as pictured and that you're enjoying having it in your office. It's always valuable to know that these smaller accessories deliver the same quality experience our customers expect from Origin.

The fact that you're looking for ways to show support that don't break the bank and recognize what we're building here is the highest praise our gear can receive. These random accessories are exactly what we love putting out there for customers like you.

Thanks for choosing Origin and for being such a dedicated supporter!

We are sorry to hear about the strong odor coming from the RAW EDGE MOUSEPAD you received. We recognize that any chemical smell is not the experience you expect when unboxing new gear, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

We have shared this feedback with our production and quality control teams so they can look into the curing and finishing processes used for our desk accessories. Ensuring our American-made products are ready for immediate use without any lingering scents is a priority, and your report helps us monitor the consistency of our manufacturing.

We appreciate you taking the time to provide this review and for being direct about the issue.

It is awesome to hear that the RAW EDGE MOUSEPAD is a standout addition to your desk. We wanted to offer a functional piece that honors the same craftsmanship we put into our boots and belts, providing a tactile experience that mass-produced silicone simply can’t match.

Using authentic American leather means this pad won't just look great today, it will develop a unique patina over time, becoming smoother and more personalized with every use. By keeping the edge raw and the material natural, we’re able to bring a bit of the workshop into your office space.

We appreciate the support and are glad you're enjoying a workspace that’s built to a higher standard.
