Welcome to my shop!
I hope you enjoy these hand sketched European prints, as well as genuine leather bags handcrafted in Nepal. The sale of both purchases benefits women & artisans in Nepal.
European Sketches
From a tiny child, Europe has captured my heart and imagination. My favorite stories were those of kings and queens, castles, and rolling hills dotted with tiny half-timbered hamlets. Growing up, I discovered Europe for myself as my parents brought us to visit family, and in college, I moved to Europe to study abroad. It was as magical as I always dreamed it would be.
Knowing my affinity for all things European, my great uncle bequeathed me his collection of sketches from his many European adventures that spanned the course of 80 years. My uncle was a prolific author, speaker, professor and ultimately president of a well-known seminary…but mostly He was a man of faith who had a great impact on me.
When he passed away, I asked my great aunt, if in his honor, I could sell his beautiful sketches to help raise money for the aftercare home we helped set up in Nepal. She was both honored and overjoyed at the thought that others could enjoy his whimsical and thoughtful creations.
So, with every purchase you make, 100% of the profits will go towards an incredible home in Nepal that is holistically caring for and supporting the precious girls lives who live there.
Thank you so much!

Lottie Leather
In 2018 Lottie Leather was born out of the desire to offer skilled artisans in Nepal an avenue to make a living wage by selling their beautiful handiwork worldwide. Having lived in Nepal in 2013, I teamed up with my sister-in-law Kristi, who lived in Nepal from 2015-2019. Together we put our heads together to come up with Lottie Leather. I spent time designing the bags, and Kristi sought out and met the amazing artisans in the valley of Kathmandu and the hills of Pokhara.
After almost a year of designing, working with the artisans, and testing the products, we introduced our bags to you! The reception has been incredible, we are so thankful for your support.
Jobs are scarce in Nepal, which sends many Nepali's abroad for work. Our hope and desire is to support Nepali artisans so they can stay in country with their families locally, strengthening the community. Each purchase you make supports this endeavor. So thank you!
