Leather
Sourced from USA tanneries, and hand-selected for quality. Our hides are cut into straps with a hydraulic press to ensure precision and consistency.
Hardware
Hardware takes a bag from looking homemade to professional—and it's not hard to do! Using basic tools, you can set rivets & more. All our hardware is real metal and built to last.

I saw the Maywood pattern at my local sewing shop and thought what a cool bag it was so I bought some fabric. They didn't have the leather and hardware kit so I thought about buying everything separately to save some money. Nope. The leathern and hardware kit is SO SO WORTH IT! Everything is cut and holed and it allows a beginner like me to immediately begin constructing the bag, sewing, and attaching hardware and leather. Truly is a wonderful experience and I am so grateful to the products and expertise curated by Klum House. Thanks!

NPS score:
It took me a while to get started, but once I did motivation kicked in. Progress is a great motivator. Instructions were well written and paced. I’m delighted with the finished product.

There’s no searching for anything that you might need to complete your bag, Ellie provides it all! I’m excited to get started on my bag. I purchased the class so I can sew along with Ellie, one of the best teachers I have had in my lifetime… and I’m old.

The kit had everything and the pre-punched leather was a huge timesaver! The pattern was very clear and easy to follow and I really like the style of the bag. I’ve only recently started making bags, but I’ve been sewing clothes for over 40 years, so I appreciate the bagmaking-specific skills that are explained so well in the pattern. This is going to be a perfect bag for traveling!

Klum House did a fantastic job of processing and shipping my order within an hour of receiving it! My late order made it in time for Christmas! Thank you SO much!

I made a set of matching woodland & maywood bags for my partners Christmas gifts and they came out looking like $300 artisan leather and canvas bags that you’d buy locally made for an arm and a leg in exchange. I’ve been sewing consistently for over 10 years but LOVED the option to buy the class along with the kit because I’d never done any leather work and was a little unsure of myself. The class made this bag a breeze to make. While it is definitely on the pricey side, you pay for what you get in this case- And that’s an amazing bag that will last forever. I’m so proud of these makes and can’t wait to continue using Klum House patterns. Thank you so much!!!
