DEATH AND TEXAS

More handmade in the USA bags. My new favorite - total killer bags from DEATH AND TEXAS. I found this shop while browsing Etsy and was blown away by the quality and craftsmanship of these bags. Grace was a sculptor and graphic designer before she picked up sewing and designing accessories again recently. Her bags are beautifully made, simple, practical, and thoughtfully designed with careful attention to detail. If you ride a bike or motorcycle, you NEED to get on of the little bags that strap on your belt or handlebars. I can't say enough about her work, it's totally a cut above all the other bags on Etsy. I can't wait to see what's to come. You rule, Grace. Let's be friends! Check her Esty shop out HERE.

Plaid Hip Pouch with vegetable-tanned leather and collar pin closure (my favorite kind of closure).
Weekender Tote. Cotton ticking stripe and brass hardware.
U-Lock Holster. This thing totally kicks ass. No sewing here. I love when the hang tags are handmade and personal as well.
Handlebar bag. I think this is my most favorite, though I really love them all. Embossed logos are the best. Everyone should have a bag like this, they are so useful!
With the longer strap, you can carry it as a regular purse. Cool!
Hip Pouch
Basically, I'm totally fanning out on you're stuff, Death and Texas. Keep it up!

Amazing. Truly beautiful. Though, I wonder if the belt is not heavied too much by the hip carry.

It's a beautiful find, either way. Thank you!
