Shop update is live! I haven’t even had time to send out a newsletter, so there’s still a ton of wonderful handmade items available. Complimentary shipping on all orders over $100 within Canada, and only $10 flat rate shipping on orders less than $100. Flat rate worldwide shipping, too!

Countdown is on! Tonight is the (rare) opportunity to grab some of my clearance and seconds for unbelievably great prices. Remember the Suraya Bags? A timeless shape, zippered closure, a great size, adjustable leather strap- these were one of my most popular bags for a long time and a few available tonight at 6pm ET!

Hopping on the 2016 / 2026 trend with this viral throwback. Do you remember this?

I spotted a beautiful leather couch on the side of the street destined for the garbage the next morning, so I dressed in black, armed myself with a utility knife, and stripped the loved leather off to repurpose it.

Honouring the fact that couches aren’t just a piece of furniture, but a gathering place of families, friends, intimate moments, and making memories, I made a beautiful clutch out of the leather and anonymously gifted it to the owner of the couch the next morning.

Through the power of social media my cover was quickly blown, and the story went viral! Not only did it resonate with hundreds of thousands of people on Facebook and Instagram, but I was asked to be on the local 6 o’clock news, a popular CBC morning radio show, and had a news article written about my good deed/thievery.

My business was built on my strong environmental beliefs, building community, upcycling, kindness, the power of a good story, and I’m happy to say that nearly 20 years later nothing has changed. ❤️

Nothing beats a classic leather tote that's built to last and withstand the test of fashion trends. Something your grandkids could inherit (that’s so weird and wonderful to think about)! I've made a handful for this Sunday's Shop Update (6pm ET), and they're up for browsing through right now. ❤️
