About Kristin McDonough

I utilize traditional leather working techniques to create modern, one-of-a-kind leather bags that stand the test of time. Each bag starts with a full grain leather hide  which I then craft by hand in my studio focusing on minimalist designs that emphasize each leather's unique & natural characteristics  such as raw edges  hand saddle-stitching, and woven details. I draw much of my inspiration from the material itself and use minimal designs that highlight the natural beauty of leather.
