A few of their newly created leather hip bags!

Ruth was introduced to leather was years ago when she was traveling in the Netherlands. It was there that she made her first collection of small leather purses with hand painted decorations which later she sold on the streets. 

 

My favorite tote from their collection, a lovely light brown Bohemian leather tote!

It was through this process that Ruth fell in love with the work and the material. Slowly, she started to develop her own line of leather goods.

Ruth has always worked with soft leathers, loving the feel she gets when it's combined with other natural materials such as cotton, flax, and stones like turquoise. 

Their gorgeous green leather coin purse, embellished with beads and a turquoise donut stone.

In her designs, Ruth tries to keep the design simple and comfortable.

Today, Ruth has a small quiet studio in the countryside where she works with her husband. They design, cut and stitch everything in their studio in a desire to infuse meaning to every bag they make.
