Classic Bells is a family business nestled in a picturesque, quiet valley off the beaten path in northeast Iowa.

We specialize in restoring antique sleigh bells and creating heirloom-quality products with antique bells.

We also use new sleigh bells to make sleigh bell straps and other gift items, and we design and make a wide variety of other leather goods.

Our products are all designed and made in the USA by the folks of Classic Bells.
