HANDMADE ACCESSORIES
In the spring of 2024 I started making handmade leather crossbody bags under the name of Nuthin Sp3cial. Each bag is made with 80-90% scrap leather. Taking inspiration from the many crossbody bags out in the world, I created original templates for this design and sourced the other components to fit my vision. My focus is creating bags that are spacious enough to fit a variety of needs, durable enough to be taken anywhere, and playfully colorful to give you that boost in confidence. My goal is to expand this brand with other handmade accessories as well as continuously improving quality, with a commitment to using recycled and repurposed materials.

I love seeing people style these bags in different ways and getting feedback that they're the perfect size!

I love making bags that are versatile and reliable, because as New Yorkers we need to be prepared for anything!

I also make custom bags on request. Instead of the standard strap, this one incorporated an old seat belt buckle that my friend provided, and was constructed in his signature all-black style.
