I love these cute little ways to display all the awesome leather I’ve been able to work with. 💕

I think I’m supposed to be spacing out my social media posts for the algorithm overlords, but this is the only free time I have to post and update my website.

So hello again! And allow me to introduce you to a bada$$ Orlando with giant pebbles and an acid wash silver HOH front pocket. 🤌🏼😮

Shut the front door, then come back in to go back out and shut it again! (😆😆) Check out the scars and pull-up on this section of copper fire bison on the Catherine crossbody!

This leather is quite easily the brightest in color and shmushiest in temper I’ve worked with. 😲 It’s a full grain 4.5 oz. leather in bright teal, and I’m ironically attempting to capture its color today on a grey, cloudy day. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’ll post this bright teal Orlando on the website once I can get some brighter pics!

Harvest leathers have some of the most amazing pull-up I’ve ever seen. 😍 This beautiful small tote is up on the website.

12/02/2024

Gorgeous honey glaze bison hide. 😍🔥 I’ll be making a couple more bags with this character-filled leather!

I love you to the moon and back! Sweet little moon & star bag charms available on the website with free shipping this week. 🌙⭐️

Cobalt blue bison earrings in the morning sunlight. 💙 (sterling silver ear hooks) I’ll be adding more earrings to the website soon, so please stay tuned!

The last of my milk chocolate leather, here realizing its fullest potential as a Wendy hobo. 😆 I’ll be loading this to the website soon, along with new earrings!

I’ve got a Horween Chromexcel Orlando in the color walnut loading to the site this evening! 👀

Copper fire bison is—appropriately—🔥🔥🔥.

Staring into this glossy pull-up is mesmerizing. This is why we choose artisan handmade. Can’t find a one-of-a-kind beauty like this mass marketed! Available on the website now.

The Janie in toasted coconut, a lightweight Horween Essex. Simple and beautiful.

Black cherry is such a gorgeous deep burgundy color, and the leather is thick in that great middle ground of structured but pliable.

(Did anyone else sport lipstick this color in the ‘90s?💄😄)

I love the Orlando bucket tote. 🥰 This beauty has sold, but let’s leave it right here for us to ogle when we need a little pretty in our lives. 💙

02/02/2024

Needed some pink to counter the stormy weather here in NorCal. Orlando and Bess wristlet in “Malibu pink.” 💗

30/01/2024

You like a thick, pebbly, smushy leather? Well this dark brown leather in the color “grizzly” checks all the boxes! And it’s perfect for the Wendy hobo because it gives it the heft for that perfect slouch without melting into a puddle of leather. 😍

29/01/2024

One word for the pull-up on this wheat harvest small tote: WHOA! 😍

29/01/2024

The Bess wristlet in natural mustard bison leather. Such a great grab-&-go size for the essentials.

28/01/2024

A version of the Romeo with no grab handles, just O-ring attachments for the strap. ❤️🪶 This pull-up brown leather is ahhhmazing!

28/01/2024

The Wendy hobo in turquoise. ❤️🪶 This one was really fun to make because the smushy leather was just so pretty.

27/01/2024

Peanut bison Orlando bucket tote. 😍 Available on my website soon!

On the weekend’s sew list: a couple more card wallets for my upcoming market days.

26/01/2024

Sac area friends, come by my booth next Friday at A Seat at the Table Books! I'll have pretty earrings, George crossbodies, Bess wristlets, and other leather goodies.

25/01/2024

Look at the slouchy goodness of this milk chocolate leather in the Wendy hobo!

Are you Team Slouchy or Team Structured when it comes to leather bags??

24/01/2024

Cranberry is such a moody red!

The Romeo is now loaded to my website. ❤️

22/01/2024

A good brown bag never goes out of style. This is the Hester in red oak. (If you’re a fellow teacher, this fits a laptop, water bottle, book, and stack of papers to grade. 👀)
