One of a kind bags & totes

Made by hand in Pennsylvania

Every Goudeaux bag is handmade by a single maker in Pennsylvania using thoughtfully selected, often upcycled leather. No patterns are repeated, no designs are mass-produced, and no two bags are ever the same.

Each piece is created one at a time — designed, assembled, and finished with care — resulting in a bag that’s as unique as the person carrying it.

What makes your Goudeaux Bag so special

Handcrafted leather bag made from quality upcycled leather, highlighting durable materials and sustainable craftsmanship

Upcycled, Quality Leather

Carefully selected leather is given a second life, combining durability, character, and responsible use of materials.

100% One-of-a-Kind

No repeats. Once a bag is finished, that exact design will never be made again. Your bag is 100% custom.

Handmade leather bags created start-to-finish by a single maker, showcasing individual craftsmanship and personal attention to detail

Made by One Maker

Every bag is designed and built start-to-finish by a single maker in Pennsylvania, not a factory, not a team.

Always Evolving Designs

Styles, layouts, materials, and details change constantly. Each bag reflects the moment it was created and no two are alike.

Details That Matter

Accents, textures, hardware choices, and finishing touches are selected intentionally, giving each bag its own personality.

How To Buy a Goudeaux Bag

There are always bags available!

Because designs are constantly changing, not every finished bag is listed online.  The best way to buy a bag or request a custom piece is to email directly. Reach out to see currently available bags, request photos, or start a custom design conversation.

Etsy – A selection of available bags are listed on my Etsy store. (Not every finished bag is listed – emailing me is best!)

Facebook – Frequently updated with photos of new and recently completed bags. (Great for seeing what’s currently being made.)

Custom Bags That Are Actually Affordable

Truly custom handbags are usually out of reach - these aren't.

Small bags start around $45, most purses and crossbody slings are about $110, and large travel totes start around $180 – for both existing and custom bags. Custom work itself is always included; materials, features, and time are quoted up front.

Custom Bags

Custom Orders Welcome!

If you have a specific color, size, fabric, or general idea in mind, reach out by email. Each custom bag is thoughtfully planned and designed before construction begins, ensuring the final piece reflects both the materials and the customer’s vision.
