01. The studio
Cut from
one hide,
stitched
by hand.
Olive Home is a home-based leather studio in White Pigeon, Michigan. No factories, no shortcuts, no two pieces alike. Just a needle, waxed thread, and a long afternoon.
Slow-made, by hand
Every bag begins as a single hide and a quiet morning at the workbench, drawn, cut, and stitched by hand, with you in mind.
Also from our home
Hand-poured soy.
Toxin-free.
A candle you can trust, and one you can feel good about.
How it works
How our handmade leather handbags are made
There is something special about a handbag that is made by hand. Every stitch, every cut and every detail reflects patience, skill, and a commitment to quality.
01
Hide Selection & Patterning
We carefully choose high quality hides that offer natural character, durability and a rich texture. Because leather is a natural material, each piece has its own unique grain and markings, making every handbag unique.
Before a single piece is cut, we create precise patterns that ensure every component fits together perfectly. Using our patterns as a guide, every panel, strap, pocket, and accent piece is carefully cut from the leather. The edges are trimmed and refined, holes are carefully punched where needed and hardware locations are marked.
02
Interior Construction
A thoughtfully selected interior fabric is prepared and sewn to compliment the leather. Interior pockets and compartments are added to provide organization while maintaining a refined appearance. The interior is assembled with careful attention to every seam.
03
Finishing & Packaging
Finished leather goods are carefully packaged, ready to begin its journey to its new home. From our workshop to your hands, every piece represents hours of craftsmanship. Our goal is to create heirloom quality pieces. Thank you for supporting our small leather workshop.
