1974 Summer Release

Canyon Bags | Series 1 of 3

The Canyon Series draws inspiration from vintage Southwestern leatherwork, old Mexico hand-laced bags, and the rugged beauty of desert landscapes. Handcrafted in the USA from vegetable-tanned leather, each bag embraces natural markings, earthy tones, and an already road-worn character that only grows richer with age. Designed for everyday carry, these bags are made to travel, to soften, and to collect stories along the way. Which one is your fav?

fun fact | the straps tuck in so you can carry as a clutch. ;)

Why Canyon Bags?

I’ve always been drawn to the bags that looked like they’d already lived a life. Vintage leather with softened edges. Old Mexico hand-laced bags. The kind of pieces that carried every scratch and mark without apology. The Canyon Series grew from that admiration…a collection that feels equally at home on the open road, wandering a market, or hanging on the back of a favorite chair.

Each piece is handcrafted from vegetable-tanned leather chosen for its character. Rather than hiding scars and markings, this collection celebrates them. I've added my own unique tooling in a very subtle way among other details that are very specific to each bag and most likely will never be repeated in the exact same way. Over time, every bag develops a patina unique to the person carrying it.
