About Kay Buchanan

Welcome! I’m Kay Buchanan, the maker behind this leather shop, where craftsmanship, nature, and artistry come together in every piece.

I create handcrafted leather goods that are built to last—designed with intention, inspired by nature, and made with a deep respect for traditional techniques. From handcrafted bags and custom guitar straps to intricately tooled pieces and my signature leaf-shaped bags, each item is carefully crafted to be both beautiful and functional.

With a background in leatherwork for film and TV, I bring years of experience in design, tooling, and hand-finishing techniques. My work is about more than just leather—it’s about creating heirloom-quality pieces that tell a story, develop character over time, and become part of your journey.

Thank you for supporting handmade craftsmanship. If you’re interested in a custom piece or have any questions, I’d love to hear from you!
