One family, four generations, nearly a century of fun!

S&S® Worldwide and the Schwartz family have grown since our 1906 inception as S&S® Leather Goods, when Aaron Schwartz’s small New York City firm began manufacturing and distributing leather craft kits to various charitable organizations.

Family-oriented core values and traditions combined with creative, forward-looking business practices have led to S&S® Worldwide’s unique understanding of customer needsand our current position as the top provider of total-solution program innovations.

Through the years, we’ve expanded and evolved to reflect the dynamics of an ever-growing customer base, and now operate from our present-day corporate and manufacturing headquarters in Colchester, Connecticut.

The S&S® family’s many years of experience, tradition and integrity have built a solid foundation of fun from which we continue to grow everyday! With our history always in mind, we look confidently toward future ventures and new directions.
