My Story

I’ve been riding motorcycles for over 20 years and back in 2006, I took my passion for riding and design and created a women’s motorcycle jacket line. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out but it was an incredible learning experience.  The remaining moto jackets and leather were put in storage and over the years I always joked I should use the leather and make hand bags but I didn’t know how to use a sewing machine.  Almost two decades later, the Universe sent me a sign and I saw a vid on YouTube of someone hand stitching a leather handbag.  Immediately I felt inspired and thought I can do that!

This is how my next chapter creating with leather began.  I bought some basic saddle stitching tools, took an online course and was instantly hooked.  I fell in love with the entire creation process. When I’m stitching, it’s as if time stops and I just get into a rhythm of flow, just like when I’m riding.  I continue learning and adding more tools for different techniques and now my office has become a leather workshop.
