How it started
Our story
The Leather Store was created in 2008 by Beckie, turning her passion for handbags and sustainable fashion into a much-loved and well-respected brand.
Classic designs and styles are the inspiration behind the brand: soft, supple leather, generously shaped simple silhouettes with a whisper of bohemian and vintage flair.
We take pride in creating bags and accessories that seamlessly blend classic design and thoughtful functionality.
Every single item The Leather Store carries has been handmade, designed and approved by Beckie. She works with the tanneries to personally select the leather, textures, and finishes of every item within her brand. Beckie notices the little things because she knows they matter. The leather quality, brass hardware, durable zips, and our trademark floral lining.
The Leather Store bags are made well and made beautifully. They are bags that you will carry and enjoy for years to come.
Bohemian & vintage flair
Our inspiration
Classic 70s handbags are the inspiration behind The Leather Store designs. Soft, supple leather, generously shaped, classic silhouettes with a whisper of bohemian and vintage flair. That’s our thing.
About
The creative process
Creating each of The Leather Store bags begins in the same way: research, inspiration, and a hand-drawn sketch. There are often multiple revisions until the design is exactly right. Only then will we create a sample to double-check that every tiny detail is perfect before producing the final item.
Our leather
Our leathers are developed especially for us by two family-run tanneries with several generations of experience producing beautiful leathers.
Sustainability
Our bags are made from eco-friendly vegetable-tanned leather, the most sustainable method that uses organic materials and avoids harsh chemicals.

Little things matter
The finishing touches
The finishing touches matter to us. Our run-smooth zips, nickel-free brass hardware and fun floral lining fabric, elevate our bags and accessories into statement pieces, embodying a perfect blend of style and substance.
