Locally sourced, natural linen and leather, cut, sewn, designed and finished with thoughtful attention to detail and durability. Each and every bag is handcrafted by me from start to finish in New York City. The goal was to create a bag that was functional, sturdy, roomy, and versatile, while still remaining lightweight and modern. The ideal being to look "cool" and casual without feeling overdone or trendy with too much hardware, pockets, etc;. Simple lines and classic linen and leather will keep these totes current year after year.
A stint overseas in Hong Kong sparked a creative spirit in me and, since I first turned on my $89 Shark sewing machine 5 years ago, I have never looked back. I find that I'm always looking at something and thinking, "I wonder if I could make that." That goes for anything from food to furniture to clothing -- although for now, I'm sticking to accessories! New designs are never far from my mind (some good, some not so good). Often scrawled on napkins, post-its, bills, and other scraps of paper haphazardly tacked to an ever crowded cork-board hanging above my sewing machine (which has been upgraded to a super-fast industrial beast called "Rex."). I am completely self-taught and have worked through a ton of trial and error, frustration and quite a bit of swearing to get where I am today. But the process of learning everything from how to sew, to fabrics, to leather, to grommets, to rivets, to photography and more has put me in a position to be passionate and proud about my work.
