About Me
I love the Western lifestyle and the craftmanship it has always represented, so I am passionate about following the process of carefully hand crafting unique leather bags and accessories. My love for leather runs deep, and it is this love that fuels the drive to create exceptional products that reflect quality, style, and craftsmanship.
I have always loved a good leather bag and looked for unique styles, I have also been a seamstress since I was very young, learning to sew from my mother. However a corporate career in IT didn't allow for much creative time. My love for tooling leather was found in the summer of 2019 while helping my grandkids, who are a ranching family, make their own belts for a 4H project. I took a simple class in tooling, then COVID hit and I had more time to learn the craft by spending many hours watching YouTube tutorials by some great craftsmen. I have since been able to make them quite a few pieces of working gear!
Founded in 2020 by me, Joy Bridge-Huber, my ecommerce store is dedicated to offering a range of high-quality leather goods that are both functional and fashionable. From stylish Hair on Hide bags to hand carved and tooled bags and accessories, each item is meticulously designed with attention to detail, ensuring that every stitch and cut is made to last.
Leather, to me, is more than just a material. It represents adventure, resilience, and the spirit of the West. It is a material that ages beautifully, telling a story of the journeys it has been on. I believe that my leather products should be a reflection of the bold individuals who carry them, inspiring them to embrace their own unique Western style!
Just like leather as it ages, I create designs that are distinctive and stand the test of time. My passion for leather and dedication to craftsmanship are what set my creations apart from the mass produced items from overseas that have no connection to the Western lifestyle.
