From Tannery Shutdown to Spring Collection: The Story Behind the Restock
Share
The boxes arrived last week. A little battered from the journey, a little worse for wear. Honestly, that describes me after a crazy month of this FedEx saga.
The Spring Leather Bag Collection Is Here & It Was Worth the Wait!
This spring leather bag collection has been one of the most anticipated restocks since we launched & not just because the styles are beautiful. Getting here took patience, persistence, and a lot of honest conversations with the boutiques & customers who were waiting alongside us.
What Happened Last September
When we launched our newest styles last fall, the response was immediate and our small batch leather goods sold out almost as fast as we could launch them. Right as demand peaked, our tannery shut down & for a brand built on intentional small batch production, that kind of disruption touches everything: the quality of the leather, the consistency of the finish & the relationships that make our goods what they are.
We don't source from a catalog. We source from people we've worked with for years, and so we waited, we communicated, and we kept our boutique partners informed even when the updates weren't the ones anyone wanted to hear.
What Small Batch Leather Goods Actually Means
There's a version of "small batch" that lives mostly in marketing copy, and then there's the version we actually live, which means longer lead times, fewer units, deeper supplier relationships & no shortcuts on materials. Our leather goods are made in limited quantities by design, not to manufacture scarcity, but because quality at scale is genuinely a different product.
Each piece in our spring leather bag collection uses the same tannery, the same standards & the same hands that have always made them, and that's not something we're willing to trade away even when the timeline goes sideways.
The Restock & What Came With It
My 8-year-old spent part of her Spring Break helping me sort through the newly arrived inventory, and she had opinions about every single bag. Standing in the studio afterward, surrounded by restocked shelves and styles I'd nearly forgotten how much I loved, I had to remind myself to slow down & actually feel it, the relief and the gratitude and the quiet satisfaction of something difficult finally resolving into something good.
That's what this spring collection represents, not just new inventory, but proof that slow and considered making is worth the patience it asks of everyone involved.

The restock includes styles that have been sold out since September, alongside brand new spring pieces we're introducing for the first time, and all are available in limited quantities through our studio and select boutique partners.
If something catches your eye, trust that feeling, because small batch leather goods don't linger long.
