From Golf Pro Shop to Master Craftsman
The journey of creating functional art for golfers who refuse to settle
I love golf and I love looking good on the course. For years I'd been looking for headcovers that were retro yet sporty, classic yet modern, beautiful yet durable... you know, something different.
And I didn't want to pay a ton of money for something I didn't love. So my girlfriend said, "Just go buy some leather and have your mom teach you how to sew."

The journey of creating functional art for golfers who refuse to settle
I love golf and I love looking good on the course. For years I'd been looking for headcovers that were retro yet sporty, classic yet modern, beautiful yet durable... you know, something different.

The Golf Years
A decade in the golf industry, understanding what golfers truly want
I played my first 9-hole par 3 course when I was in college during the Tiger boom. I caught the golf bug so hard that within a week I got a job at a golf shop.
The next 10 years were spent custom fitting and really diving into the complexities of club building and shaft/head/grip combinations. I understood what golfers wanted because I was living it every day.
The Pivot
From golf industry veteran to self-taught craftsman
After being out of the industry for several years, I started golfing 3 days a week during Covid lockdown and obviously needed new head covers.
I had never sewn a stitch or worked with leather in any capacity, so I studied and practiced and taught myself how to make these beautiful head covers.
"Having never worked with leather or used a sewing machine, it was not as simple as that. But through a lot of hard work, creativity and patience, Little Prince Customs was born."
The Workshop
Where passion meets precision, and every piece becomes functional art
Where passion meets precision, and every piece becomes functional art
I take a lot of pride in the pieces I create. They're functional art. They're timeless. They're a piece of me.
Each hide is carefully selected through our main supplier in Napa, CA who sources from the world's finest tanneries. From my collection of over 100 embroidery threads, I choose the perfect match for each design, then hand-cut every piece using patterns I've refined several times over the years.
Whether crafting quilted diamonds that are hand-chalked and precision-stitched, joining leather pieces together with beautiful French seams, creating intricate argyle patterns with individual leather diamonds stitched by hand, or applying classic striping details, each technique demands complete attention. Foam padding is added to all headcovers for complete club protection. This is where technique meets artistry.

The Philosophy
Why advertising for some giant golf club company when you can express your own style?
Functional Art
Every piece exemplifies both form and function—protecting your clubs while showcasing your personal style.
Golfer's Perspective
10 years in the golf industry taught me what golfers really want - not just protection, but style and personality.
Personal Expression
Your bag should reflect your personality, not advertise for companies that aren't paying you.
"If you have an idea, let's work together to make it happen. Every headcover tells a story - let's tell your story."- Karl, Founder & Master Craftsman
