Every stitch tells a story.

Turn any of your treasured fabrics into a bag that carries your history wherever you go.

Heirloom is a program that transforms well-loved materials into stunning and unique bags. Send in a loved one’s uniform, blanket, duffel bag, or other materials, to create a personalized handbag with memories of them all over it.

Ensuring quality craftsmanship takes time. Currently our shipping window from the time we receive your materials until shipping is approximately 6 to 10 weeks.

Step 1:

Choose Your Bag + Prepare Your Material

We love helping you tell your story. Once you’ve chosen the meaningful material you’d like to repurpose—whether it’s a uniform, jacket, or keepsake—you’ll select your favorite bag style and customizations below. After placing your order, we’ll provide the address for shipping your material to our team.

Step 2:

We Get to Work

Once your material arrives, our team begins the process of transforming it into your chosen heirloom piece. Depending on the season, your custom item will be ready to ship within 6–10 weeks. We’ll keep you updated along the way and reach out if we have any questions.

Step 3:

Carry the Story Forward

You’ll receive your handcrafted item made from the material you provided—each stitch a tribute to your story. Now, you can carry those memories with you every day in a one-of-a-kind piece made just for you.
