The ‘Daily’ | Made By Haptic

This bag is entirely made by hand. Hand cut, hand dyed, hand sewn, hand set rivets and a handmade pattern. It has taken me awhile to figure out everything this bag needed, but with the addition of the removable shoulder strap, I think we have arrived.
This bag is available in 3 sizes, one larger (The ‘Weekender’) and one smaller (The ‘Mini’)

Come by for a studio visit or DM to start your custom bag order 🥂🍾 there are endless color possibilities yall!

Special thanks to Em White for helping this bag look good 📸 ❤️

Each of the sandals I make are cobbled by hand, favorite step of mine. I use solid brass clinching nails or ‘tacs’ to hold the top and bottom soles together. This practice of cobbling, was one I learned from my mentor, Barbara Shaum.

She hated planned obsolescence and designed her collection of sandals, that I still make today, so they could be pulled apart and resoled; So that her investment was your investment; So that you could wear one pair of sandals for most of your life.

It’s so nice to share some more beautiful studio moments captured by last week. This is where the handmade sandals get cobbled together.

It is such an honor to be a steward of these tools and work benches from my late mentor, Barbara Shaum. It’s so nice to have her spirit in the room with me. If you don’t know who she was give her a little Google… she made runway sandals for most of the big names in fashion I know… many moons ago 🪄

Let me make you a custom belt that will grow and age beautifully with you.
This is what a custom belt fitting looks like 🤝 We account for the extent to which the belt will stretch and mark the hole that fits your body. DM for ALL orders and inquiries 🥂
Special thanks to for coming to the studio & documenting some of the processes that normally folks do not get to see.
