One of the biggest decisions in creating The Rosalie wasn’t the logo or the pattern… it was choosing the leather.
In this episode, I take you along as I research different types of leather, visit Tandy Leather, compare calfskin, lambskin, and pigskin, and ultimately choose the leather that will become the very first Rosalie handbag.
Every decision matters when you’re building a handbag with timeless craftsmanship in mind, and I want to share every step of this journey—from the first sketch to the first collection.
In this episode:
• Researching leather suppliers
• Visiting Tandy Leather
• Comparing calfskin, lambskin, and pigskin
• Why I chose calfskin for The Rosalie
• Bringing home the very first hide
• What’s next in building GIRLEE
This isn’t just about making a handbag—it’s about building a dream, one thoughtful decision at a time.
Thank you for following along on this journey. Your encouragement means more than you know.
