Crafted with intention. Built for a lifetime.
A Return to Craft.
In a world of fast things, I choose the slow way.
Every piece begins as a flat hide and becomes something meant to last — cut, stitched, and finished by hand, the way leatherworkers once did. No shortcuts. No assembly lines. Just honest materials, simple tools, and time‑earned skill.
These bags are made to be carried, repaired, and passed down. Not consumed. Not replaced.
The Farmhouse Workshop
My work takes place in the attic of my 1830s farmhouse — a quiet space shaped by wood, weather, and time. The tools are simple. The pace is slow. The craft is honest. Every piece carries a bit of this place with it.

More about
my brand
Appalachian Trading Company is a small, one‑woman atelier devoted to the old ways of making.
Each piece starts with old‑world methods — hand tools, steady work, honest materials, and the kind of care that can’t be rushed. I create leather goods meant to be carried for years, repaired when needed, and passed down when the time comes — a quiet return to the expectation of true quality.
