Welcome to Sunhouse Goods

Hello, I'm Kellen, a designer and dedicated leather craftsman based in steamy Durham, North Carolina. At Sunhouse Goods, I create every piece with my own hands, right here in my leatherwork studio. For years, I've shared my journey on Instagram, offering insights into my craft and showcasing my creative process.

My passion lies in the art of handcrafting custom, one-of-a-kind leather accessories and bags. I'm committed to designing with longevity in mind, blending traditional craftsmanship with clean lines to craft durable, timeless heirlooms. It brings me immense pride to know that hundreds of satisfied customers across five continents carry my bags as daily companions.

What sets Sunhouse Goods apart is our unwavering commitment to sustainability. I exclusively use leathers tanned with ecologically friendly vegetable tannins, sourced from animals that were never harmed for their skins. Your bag, in essence, is a byproduct of the meat industry, contributing to a more sustainable world.

My creations are not just products; they are enduring art pieces, the result of a unique collaboration between you and the artisan. These works are designed to accompany you daily for a lifetime, requiring minimal care and conditioning. I stand behind the quality of every Sunhouse Goods piece by offering free seam repairs for life.

Sunhouse Goods isn't just a brand; it's a testament to the deeply personal connection between craftsmanship and owner. I'm excited to embark on this creative journey with you. Feel free to reach out and become a part of the Sunhouse Goods story.
