Small Batch

We are a small batch leather shop.

This means that all our bags are handcrafted in our 300 square foot shop in the Pacific NW. We have some leathers that we get (fairly) consistently, but, many of the hides we get are one of a kind. When building Mailbags or Lindy bags, Shawn can make about TWO bags out of one hide.

If Shawn finds an interesting hide, he buys it and then makes two bags. That's it. Once they're gone, they're gone!

Even our "standard" colors, can vary from dye lot to dye lot. For you knitters out there, you understand the need to get all your yarn from the same dye lot for a big project. Or for you woodworkers, you see how the same type of wood can take stain differently.

For that reason, we are continually updating our online store with new photos, as the colors change.

That is also the reason our quantities are limited at the Pike Place Market and in our online store.

As always, we thank all of our faithful customers who give good homes to our bags.
