This shop is wonderful! Brittney created a wristlet that was exactly what I wanted. She was super responsive and accommodating. I LOVE the item I purchased!

This was a special order, made from purses that had outlived their utility but still had enough leather to make something new. I love the up cycling concept, and look how wonderfully it turned out in the right hands! Brittney - you did a fantastic job. I truly love it. Very, very well made, so well designed. I love it.

I custom ordered this bag and Brittney was so easy to work with. I was able to tell her the dimensions I needed, the colors I wanted and the design I had in mind and she made it exactly how I wanted and the craftsmanship is excellent! I love it!

Brittney was a pleasure to work with. She custome-made the pouch for me to give to my friend as a birthday gift. The pouch was beautifully made and my friend loved it.

Recycled, upcycled, salvaged leather turned into bags

Want not, waste not. Turning old, salvaged leather into art.

I love leather and everything about it... It's quality, feel and look. When I first started sewing leather I practiced with old leather jackets or skirts or whatever I could find. Then I realized there was so much character in a leather piece that had already lived one life. I also love the idea of recycling old pieces and saving them from being wasted in the back of someone's closet (or buried in a landfill!). Sometimes the character of the jacket even shows through in the pattern of a bag. It's amazing what a good cleaning (or 2 or 3!) and some un-sewing can do for an outdated, rather-ugly garment:)
I love being able to create whatever is in my head. I love even more the challenge and art of using oldies to make new, more useful goodies.
