The Raq bag was originally designed for my mom, and then upgraded slightly for my dear friend Raquel. My mom was looking for something she could fit her bag organizer into, while Raquel was looking for a bold but playful everyday bag. I love how this bag can connect with so many people.

This is a smaller version of the Andi tote bag, designed to feel like an elevated version of the standard cotton tote. Personally, I wanted a smaller version of the Andi tote to fit my 5’-4” body and fill the position of my everyday ‘running errands‘ bag.
It is made with one interior pocket and one brass key clip.
The Luna bag: a tiny bag for a night out, and perfect for travel.
It fits your cash, cards, and passport on one side, and your phone on the other. It’s simple, cute, and feels like an accessory. I love how it also fits nicely under a jacket when you want something more discreet. Made with Riri brass zippers.
Bag dimensions: 6-3/8” (16cm) tall x 10” (25.4cm) wide. 7-1/2” (19cm) zipper opening
Fits a regular phone and passport.

I originally designed this bag for my brother as the perfect commuter bag, with multiple interior pockets and the option to add a laptop or tablet sleeve (see Custom Projects page for more info). When your go-to tote is made of vegetable-tanned leather, everyone is going to ask about its soft, sophisticated style and patina!
Made with two interior pockets and a solid brass key clip.
The organic shape of the Pau bag moves with your body. Wear it crossed, or around your waist. It’s designed to fit a small wallet, passport, sunglasses, maybe even some snacks - anything you might need for travel or a day out. This was originally designed for a friend who wanted a classy waist bag, something functional that could be used for all activities.
Made with brass Riri zippers and solid brass D-rings for adjustment.
