ABOUT OUR LEATHER
From remnant pieces, to yours forever
The beauty of each handmade bag lies in its irregularities. Yours will bear subtle variations in leather grain and hand-stitching.
As you carry it, the leather will respond to your life. It will soften in places, darken or lighten with exposure to sun and rain, gather small scuffs that tell the story of use. This is leather designed to last, developing character and carrying traces of your travels over time.
JOYN creates handmade bags and block printing supplies from our studio in the foothills of the Himalayas. We create pieces with personality for your everyday wear. Small batches, traditional techniques, Fair Trade Certified.
