This bag was made in Edmond, Oklahoma under the guidance of Sydnie Peebles, who is the master behind her eponymous label, Sydnie Banks. Her patience and expertise taught me not just how to stitch leather, but how to approach craft with intention. Every seam in this hand stitched piece carries something of what she shared - a way of working that honors both material and maker. I'm deeply grateful for her generosity in opening her studio and passing on skills that transform how I understand what hands can create and what being handmade really means.
