Leather Goods Made in Topanga
We love creating things with our hands. Leather crafting came naturally for us when we wanted to brach out from building custom adventure bicycles. Over the years we have grown larger in scale and we now make a variety of bags, totes, musettes, wallets, belts, just to name a few.
Our shop location has a big influence on the development of our leather goods. Topanga Canyon has always attracted creative minds and independent spirits to its small community since the 60's. The music scene of the 70's put Topanga on the map with artists such as Neil Young, Jim Morrison, Mick Fleetwood and Joni Mitchell who lived in or frequented Topanga. In fact, our shop cabin was once a jam sessions studio for Eagles and The Doors. Today, the creative energy continues to grow and has inspired us to become leather craftsmen in our own way.

The carpet bag has a long history as an affordable and practical travel companion, gaining popularity from the early 19th through the 20th century. Traditionally, these bags were crafted by saddle makers who had the specialized equipment and skill to stitch the heavy carpet material into durable, functional designs.
In the 1960s, the carpet bag found new fame when Mary Poppins carried her magical version on screen. We love that these bags were originally crafted by leathersmiths, and in honor of that tradition, we're introducing our own interpretations by blending timeless craftsmanship with a fresh perspective.

Leather Crafting Tools
Running a bike shop for the last two decades has taught us that having the proper and also highest-quality tools really makes a difference in the final product whether it be a custom bicycle or a leather bag. We now have several industry-leading, professional-grade tools and machines to help us craft our leather goods. While some of these machines may cost a pretty penny to own, the quality and the longevity of the machines more than make up for it.
