Moore & Giles

What Moore & Giles does

Moore & Giles is a privately held American leather goods and furniture company founded in 1933 and headquartered in Lynchburg, Virginia. The company designs, sources, and sells premium full-grain leather products across three primary categories: bags and accessories (totes, backpacks, briefcases, wallets, clutches under the Seven Hills sub-brand), handcrafted leather furniture (sofas, lounge chairs, swivel chairs, ottomans, benches, platform beds across the Traynham and Hamilton collections), and home goods (throws, pillows, trays, games, tableware, leather care products). Leather furniture is handcrafted in North Carolina using full-grain and top-grain leather, while accessories draw on proprietary leather including Mont Blanc tanned in Bassano del Grappa, Italy.

The company operates direct-to-consumer e-commerce through a unified BigCommerce platform that supports both B2C and B2B storefronts, launched in May 2025 and integrated with ERP and PIM systems for real-time inventory and product data. Proprietary platform features include a 360° product viewer, B2B-specific tools (Find a Rep Tool, variant listing pages), and SMS/email marketing automation. Distribution is domestic (United States) through the company website supplemented by telephone sales and dedicated trade account management for hospitality and designer clients.

Revenue is generated through one-time unit purchases of made-to-order and ready-to-ship leather goods, with furniture priced between $1,475 and $10,005+ and bags/accessories priced between $140 and $1,860, plus a $12 monogramming add-on. Customer segments include affluent individual consumers (B2C, primary), interior designers and trade professionals (B2B), and hospitality and commercial clients. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, no institutional investor backing, and no public revenue disclosure.
