The Poofy Puffin Story
From a passion for leather to Kenai's most trusted restoration workshop
Born in Alaska, Built on Craft
Poofy Puffin Upholstery Place began in 2012 when founder Elena Brooks decided to combine her love for vintage fashion with her family's generations-old tradition of leather working. What started as a small operation in her garage has become Kenai Peninsula's premier leather care destination.
The name "Poofy Puffin" came from her grandfather's nickname for her as a child — and it stuck. Today, it represents our philosophy: approachable, friendly service with uncompromising quality.
