About Us

Caviar Mercy is an artisanal leather goods and apparel brand founded in 2023 by Gary Godley (b. 1996), a multidisciplinary creative born in Tidewater, Virginia. The brand was conceived while living in Los Angeles, where contrasting environments—structure and freedom, precision and emotion—shaped its foundation.


Rooted in craftsmanship, restraint, and expression, Caviar Mercy exists at the intersection of luxury and intention. Before transitioning fully into fashion and leather craft, Gary spent nearly a decade immersed in music and visual creation, shaping sound, imagery, and narrative. That creative lineage continues to inform the brand’s philosophy: design as emotional language, and craftsmanship as storytelling.


Each piece is handmade in small batches using suede, nubuck, and utility sides sourced from select tanneries in the United States and Italy. Emphasis is placed on material integrity, thoughtful construction, and timeless form—favoring depth and longevity over trend-driven design.


Caviar Mercy is for those who value process, individuality, and quiet confidence. Luxury here is not defined by excess, but by intention, discipline, and the human hand behind the work.
