We’re bringing a bunch of new things to the Renegade Craft Wicker Park this weekend!

Some are practical. Some are whimsical. A few are simply things we wanted to make because they made us smile.

Everything is handmade in our Chicago studio, using the same leather we love working with and in some new shapes, colors, and ideas.

We’re at booth 241. Come say hi, dig through the table, and see what’s new. You might find something you didn’t know you needed.

A gift that feels personal - because it is.

From corporate gifts for board retreats, client appreciation, and team milestones to meaningful gifts for weddings, birthdays, and special occasions, we can customize our handmade leather goods with names, initials, logos, or special messages.

Each piece is made by hand in our Chicago studio, then finished with a custom embossing that makes it uniquely theirs.

Thoughtful. Useful. Made to last.

One bag. One hide. One of a kind.

This suede weekender has that soft, worn-in character that makes you want to take it everywhere - from a quick weekend away to a long day around the city.

The beauty is in the details: natural texture, deep color variation, sturdy leather handles, and a roomy shape that’s actually meant to be used.

A wallet can look almost finished at this point and we are at the polishing stage, where we give the leather and the edges that final bit of attention. A little rubbing, a little patience, you can see that luxurious shine from shell cordovan appears and suddenly everything comes together.

It’s one of those quiet steps that can be easy to overlook, but it makes such a difference when you hold the finished wallet in your hands.

From a flat piece of leather to something you’ll carry every day — this is the final touch before it leaves the studio.

Made slowly. Finished by hand. Ready to be used.

A fresh window and the same love for handmade.

If you’ve walked by recently, you might have noticed we’ve changed things up a little. Every display is our way of sharing what’s happening inside the studio — new leather, new colors, and pieces made by hand.

Come say hi and take a look.

A little unexpected. Exactly how we like it.

Orange on the outside. Teal on the inside. It’s not the combination most people would think of first, and that’s exactly what makes it work. The vibrant orange brings the energy, while the teal interior adds a quiet contrast every time you open it.

This full-size bi-fold is made to be used every day, but it doesn’t have to blend in. We love creating pieces that feel classic at first glance, with just enough personality waiting inside.

Hand cut, hand stitched, and finished one at a time in our Chicago studio. Because the things you carry every day should make you smile every time you reach for them.

Just needles, thread, leather, and a lot of patience.

It’s repetitive in the best way, and somehow every stitch makes the finished piece feel a little more real. One small step at a time, until it’s ready to be worn for years.

People remember experiences more than they remember swag. That’s why we created our Travel Leather Bar.

Instead of handing out another branded giveaway, your guests get to choose a handcrafted leather piece they actually want, then watch it be personalized right there with their initials. It’s interactive, personal, and always draws a crowd.

We’ve brought the Leather Bar to employee appreciation events, client gatherings, conferences, and brand activations, and one of our favorite moments is watching people slow down, chat with us, and get excited about something made just for them.

Everything is handcrafted in our Chicago studio using premium full-grain leather, and we bring the entire setup to you—tools, leather goods, personalization, and all.

If you’re planning an event and want to give people something they’ll keep using long after the day is over, we’d love to be part of it.

This custom drawing bag was designed for someone who creates every day - a companion for sketchbooks, pencils, notebooks, and the quiet moments where ideas take shape.

Crafted from English Tan Dublin leather from Nick Horween , it has a rich pull-up effect that shifts with every bend and catches the light in a way only full-grain leather can. Every scratch, crease, and mark becomes part of its story, developing a patina that reflects the journeys it takes with its owner.

With its clean silhouette, soft structure, and adjustable leather strap, this bag is designed to feel timeless rather than trendy. Handmade one at a time, using traditional techniques and materials chosen to last for decades—not seasons.

Every custom project begins with a conversation, because the best bags are built around the way you work and live.

Every custom piece starts with a conversation, then a sketch, a pattern, and finally countless hours at the workbench.

This month, we had the privilege of creating everything from bags, wallets, watch straps, and folders to one-of-a-kind pieces designed around our clients’ ideas. No two projects were exactly alike, and that’s what keeps this craft exciting.

Thank you to everyone who trusted us with something personal this month. Seeing your ideas come to life is still our favorite part of what we do.

As we wrap up June, our custom order queue is currently 1–2 months out. If you’re hoping to have something made for a special occasion or as a gift, now is a great time to get in touch.

Here’s to another month of making things built to last!
