Announcement
Happy Holidays to all!
We recognize that not everyone likes leather and are offering linen and waxed canvas as substitutes in many of our classic designs. Most of the fabric bags are showing with a leather strap but that can be substituted with a webbing strap. Just let us know!
We also make home accessories and patterns, please go to https://etsy.me/2vii0yp to see the other line.

5 out of 5 starsFits so well over our larger than ordinary tea pot! So pretty as well as very insulating. I’ve looked through a fair bit of William Morris prints, and this one is had great color and scale. Seems very well made.

5 out of 5 starsI spent hours and hours looking for just the right purse- I wanted something with a look that could be considered timeless and with sturdy materials and construction to match. I could not be more thrilled with the product that arrived today! It was clearly made with care and pride, and Paddy’s customer service was equally exceptional. She reached out to offer me additional options and coordinated the details of the purse and pouches to match automatically. I can’t imagine this purse will ever wear out, but next time I want to expand my collection I will be buying here again!

5 out of 5 starsThis bag is a jawdroppingly beautiful. From the soft but sturdy teal-green leather, to the gorgeous tapestry pattern. It's roomy but not too large, and I love the little touches too, like the check fabric and inner pockets. I had my eye on it for a bit and finally splurged and I'm so glad I did!

5 out of 5 starsAbsolutely gorgeous purse! I’m so thrilled. Paddy helped me immensely to pick the correct size purse that I was looking for. I think I had messaged her at least ten times. She was very patient with me and really helped make my decision. This is the second purse I have from her! If you’re looking for a gorgeous, unique and well made Purse you’ve come to the right place!!!

About us:
Plumage Studio is a family run, Ontario based company dedicated to making high quality, timeless accessories. We create handbags, belts and pet products that are beautiful, durable and functional. Wool tartan, Harris Tweed, as well as William Morris and Rifle Paper Company prints are our favourite companion fabrics to our leather goods, with waxed canvas providing a durable alternative to leather. Our design influences include historical artifacts and nature.
We create with an emphasis on sustainability and low waste. Materials are often up-cycled, and we piece our smaller scraps in order to avoid waste / landfill. Quality materials and techniques combined with enduring design means we avoid fast fashion completely. You can enjoy our goods forever because of our quality and timeless aesthetic.
All of our items are hand made by us using high quality materials such as Italian top grain leathers, handmade Harris Tweed and tartans.
Why leather:
After being disappointed in the longevity of fabric and cork purses, I turned to leather. I wanted something that would last longer and not end up in landfill or unused in the back of the closet.
Leather is a by-product of the meat industry, so turning animal hide into a usable product prevents landfill.
