Yesterday, we sold out of every single Branded Collection Wristlet on the website. I know so many were upset they didn’t see our posts or email in time. Well, luck has struck and we found SEVEN more in the workshop! They are live on the website and still $80! It took us THREE ENTIRE YEARS to amass these brands so when these are gone they won’t be back for a long long time. If you missed out yesterday this is your last shot!

The branded wristlets you’ve been eyeing? They’re on sale!
One-of-a-kind. Handcrafted. Authentically branded with real cattle iron marks, no two are ever the same.
We create with intention, using every part of the hide to honor the whole animal. These pieces carry that story.
This is a limited run. When they’re gone, they’re gone for good.

Some people have names that accidentally match their profession. It’s called an aptronym. Think Baker the baker, Smith the blacksmith… or in our case, Tanner the leatherworker.
This has been a tremendous year for our small shop. We’ve learned a lot, experimented with new designs, and met customers who appreciate handcrafted leather as much as we do.
As the business continues to grow and stabilize, we’re entering a new phase. We’re in the process of refining our product line and our sourcing.
When things really took off for Appa Bag Works in 2025, we were moving so fast we didn’t have time to step back and refine the process. Now that the dust has settled a bit, we’re streamlining our product line and refining our sourcing so we can offer even more consistency in our materials and even stronger craftsmanship in every piece we make.
And yes… still made by a guy named Tanner.
Lately we’ve been visiting tanneries and suppliers as we refine our materials. Sometimes life really does lean into the joke… especially when your name is Tanner and you work with leather.

We have a limited number of our small totes available for purchase!

We are hearing rumors of a leather price increase in parts of the world, so we have purchased a set amount in bulk to lock down our pricing just in case.

That being said, it means we only have a set number of small totes available at $250, which automatically qualifies for free shipping!

As we like to do with everything at Appa, we have created the Small Tote to be completely customizable and a compatible companion with any of our smaller bags! Choose your upper and lower leather panels, straps, pocket, hardware, and stitching! We even have the Loxx button available as an add-on for a secure tote closure. Keep the essentials inside your Clutch, Wristlet, or Parcel, and everything else in the new Tote! Get yours today while they are still here.

The Tote is made entirely of full grain leather and the straps are made from buffalo (the same leather as our belts). This tote will last as long as you do BUT if anything ever happens to the stitching or hardware we promise to replace or repair it for free. Just pay to have it shipped. At Appa, we don't want you to have to buy a bag every season or year. We want our bags to be your forever bags. Let us make an impact on the industry and world together and bring back items that are made to last.

Thank you all so very much!
-Tanner
