Kit Kraft inc. began in 1946 when Joe and Gussie Sitkin discovered their love for leather crafting after learning about it in the USO. Their first products for sale were leather- crafting kits for wallets, handbags, belts, moccasins, and fashion accessories under the name "Double K Brand". We have always worked hard to be a customer driven company. When customers would ask for certain items, we would find them, then order two so we could keep one in stock.

Since its opening, Kit Kraft has been a family run business, now entering its third generation. The first location was in a closet in the back of another store on Melrose Ave. in Los Angeles, Ca. Later, as the business grew, it was moved to a storefront of its own also on Melrose Ave. By 1954, more floor space was needed, so the store was moved to 12109 Ventura Pl. in Studio City, Ca., its current location.
