5 out of 5 starsThis bag is sleek, and neutral while packing a punch! It is made with care, precision, and attention to detail. Shipped quickly; shop owner modified strap and thread color at my request. A great bag for concerts, city-travel, or a night out. Thank you HoPa!

5 out of 5 starsFirst of all, the seller is an absolutely amazing person to work with. We had a shipping snafu (100% my fault) and the seller followed up and more than made up for my mistake. I wouldn't hesitate to do business with her again!

Owner
Holding Pattern Studio (HoPa for short) is my way of bringing handcrafted leather goods to everyone. I wanted people to be able to afford a handmade accessory made from ethically sourced leather without the cost being too outrageous.

Care instructions
Caring for your HoPa:
HoPa bags and wallets are artfully hand crafted in Baltimore, MD and are designed to enjoy daily use.
Because our leathers are untreated, they are not water resistant. You may consider treating your HoPa with a leather wax for its protection, but note this will change the base hue of the leather. Vegetable tanned leathers are expected to darken over time and will develop a character reflective of its journey.
As with any leather, we recommned not placing your HoPa on wet spots, the ground, or exposing it to inclement weather!
Where does your leather come from?
Mostly, my cow and goat leather hides are sourced through two tanneries, and are usually ordered as the "seconds" hides, which contain minor blemishes.
Pergamena, a tannery in Montgomery, NY provides all my goat leather and some cow leather. The hides belonged to animals that died naturally or were raised for food. Most of the hides come from local farmers in the northeastern United States. Their leather is vegetable tanned and aniline dyed if it has a color: www.pergamena.net
Horween, a tannery in Chicago, IL, provides cow leather. I primarily use the Essex line, and sometimes use chromexcel leathers: www.horween.com
I have also been experimenting with leather from Wickett and Craig in PA: www.wickett-craig.com
