Over the years the tools are better, the skills are sharper, the machines have been upgraded β€” but the passion? Unchanged.

I sometimes wish I'd found this hidden gem in me sooner, but I've learned it's all in the Lord's timing.

What have I been up to these days, you ask...
Tons of things! But mostly up in the loft making bags, wallets, pouches, journal covers, keyfobs, Day Trippers, etc., etc., etc. I want to be sure I have enough goods for ya'll before the next couple of shows.
Makers gotta make 🀩

This handcrafted tote was built from rich full-grain leather that will only get better with age β€” softening, darkening, and telling its own story along the way. Finished with a roomy interior, sturdy shoulder straps, and that timeless everyday shape that goes with absolutely everything. I can't seem to be able to keep this one in stock 🀩 so, I have 2 more like it on the bench today 😍

Made by hand in the leather loft, one stitch at a time 🀎🀎🀎

Meet Vyn, a young artisan who just stepped into the leather loft for the very first time yesterday β€” and within moments started falling in love with the craft.

There’s something so exciting about watching the love of leather come alive in someone. I love giving people the chance to simply mess around in the leather loft and discover whether this is a craft they truly want to explore.

Leatherwork isn’t a cheap craft, and there aren’t many leatherworkers left to learn from these days. That’s why it means so much to open up the space, share the tools, and watch curiosity turn into excitement.

Seeing Vyn light up while creating yesterday reminded me exactly why I love doing this. 🀎
