My Process
I sketch every bag by hand first. No templates. Just me, a pencil, and whatever is in my head at 11pm.
I pick every fabric myself. I touch every piece. If the texture isn't right or the color doesn't feel western enough, it goes back.
I cut every panel by hand. Scissors, leather, denim — one piece at a time. No shortcuts.
I measure twice. Always. Because a crooked seam means starting over and I'd rather take the extra minute than send out something I'm not proud of.
I sew every stitch myself. Either by machine or by hand depending on the detail. Some parts take me an hour just to get right.
I press and shape every panel so the bag sits exactly how I pictured it when I was sketching at my desk the night before.
I hand-stitch every appliqué — the horse, the cactus, every detail. That part alone can take half a day. I don't care. It has to be right.
Last step — I put the finished bag on the table and just look at it. Check every seam. Run my hand across every panel. Check the handles. Check the stitching one more time.
If I wouldn't be proud carrying it myself, you won't receive it.
That's what every bag gets from me. Every single one.
That's not a sales pitch. That's just how I was raised to work. 🤍
