Recreating Beauty and Making a Difference!

I'm passionate about giving new purpose to leather items that are already part of the system. It's exciting to recreate and breathe new life into materials that might otherwise be discarded in landfills. Every bag I create is a unique work of art, each celebrating both sustainability and personal style. It brings me so much joy to see others connect with these special pieces and want to make them their own.

Nearly Seven Hundred - The number of leather items that have gotten a second life in my workshop since 2017.

The bag has been wonderful for its practical use, but most of all, I am touched by the sentimental value. Thank you so much for making this gift possible. I am truly touched by it.

Oh my goodness they are both wonderful!!!! The large one is so Riley. I hope I can wait to give to her. I was showing Brad and he told me to keep the small one. Did not think of that but great idea. I can use at the horse shows! So beautiful!

Betsy! Beautiful! Just beatiful. Larger than I imaged, and I'll have no problem filling it and strutting around. A major part of my Christmas shopping is now complete. Pictures to follow. Thank you so much.
