5 out of 5 starsThese iPhone wall pockets are fantastic. I worked with the owner to design something custom for the bathroom (who doesn't live in fear of dropping their phone in the toilet) The design is beautiful, quality is great and the turnaround time was extremely fast. If you're looking for something unique - contact Ida the shop owner. She can hook you up.

5 out of 5 starsThe seller was amazing and worked with me to create a custom listing based on this wall pocket. The quality of the work is exquisite, so organic and beautiful. My daughter is using this as a pocket to hang her journals above her desk. What a special artistic piece. Thank you!

Handcrafted Leather Goods from Portland, Oregon.
URBAN ARTICLE
Craftsmanship, great design, and low environmental impact is my passion. All handbags and home goods are made in Portland, Oregon from superior leathers, vegetable tanned in the United States from North American steer hides, or up-cycled US moto leathers.
I hope you find something to love in my collection, and that it becomes part of your story. In a world of disposable products, I seek to create something of lasting value without harming people or the environment in the process.
New designs are always in the works. Get a peek on Instagram @urban_article
Thank you for visiting my site, please reach out with questions or comments, I love to hear from you!

I'm a country girl moved to the city, who loves creating beautiful and useful leather goods. When I'm not making new work, I like to read, cook, eat, mountain bike, travel to beautiful nature spots, and enjoy Oregon beer with friends and family.
