About Sylvia

Introduction
Hi there, I’m Sylvia, and I’m so glad you’ve found your way to this special corner of the world. For over 40 years, I have been creating handcrafted leather bags with love, care, and a deep dedication to quality. What began as a small passion turned into a lifetime of craftsmanship—a way to connect with people who value the beauty and soul of a well-made bag.

The Journey
It all began in a small workshop, where I discovered the joy of turning raw leather into something both beautiful and practical. There’s something truly special about working with your hands, feeling the grain of the leather, and watching each detail come together. Through the years, my workshop has seen countless bags take shape, each one unique—just like the people who carry them.

Why I Love What I Do
Making leather bags has always meant more to me than just the final result. It’s about the rhythm of the process, the patience in every stitch, and the pride of knowing something was made entirely by hand. Every bag holds a little piece of my heart, and it brings me joy to know it will become part of someone else’s story.

There is magic in seeing a finished bag and remembering the journey it took to create—from choosing the perfect hide to stitching the final seam. It’s a joy I’ve been lucky to live every day in my workshop.

Looking Ahead
As I now step into retirement, my focus shifts to celebrating the legacy of Sylvia Bags. These final pieces are a reflection of decades of passion and craftsmanship, designed to last and to be loved.

Thank you for being here and for appreciating the art and care behind every bag. Your support over the years has meant the world to me.
