Leather Care + Materials
Where do you source your leather?
All of our leather is from The Hide House located in Napa, CA. Just imagine a Costco size warehouse of every color you can imagine! We love going to The Hide House to handpick all of our hides. So, we can provide you with the best quality leather. We typically work with cowhides, but in the past have worked with bison, buffalo, and deerskin.
Any scaring or marks are characteristics and part of the hide. We do our best to avoid some marks, however it does not affect the quality of the bag or the hides.
What hardware + materials do you use?
All of our hardware and zippers come in natural brass/gold. Our hardware comes from one of the largest US manufacturers and is family-owned. We use YKK for all of our zippers, which are well-known and fond in your Levi Jeans.

We will wrap the your purchased item(s) in tissue paper (depending on the season/occasion/holiday, we may use special tissue paper), tie with string, and put a handwritten card of a sweet message from you. Please make sure to leave a message in the "notes" section at checkout, so we can put it on the card.

All of our bags are sewn and designed by Adam. Danella will occasionally assist in prep work. However, Adam does all of the sewing and construction.
How to shorten my crossbody strap?
At this time, we do not offer any custom strap adjustments or shorten through our online store. However, if you attend any one of our in-person markets, we are able to make the adjustment on site as long as you bring your bag.
We recommend customers to tie a knot at the top of the strap. Many customers love tying a knot on their bag. Also, it adds a nice fashionable touch!
