Our Story

The Southbay Crafting Story

Born in Simrishamn, Sweden, Southbay Crafting is a family-rooted workshop dedicated to handmade leather goods, knitting, and traditional crafts. Surrounded by makers my entire life—with a mother sewing theater costumes and a father woodworking—crafting is our family language. Everything you see in our shop is made by hand in our Swedish homes, primarily by me, with special contributions from my family and friends.

What We Believe In

Made to Last, Not to Impress

We reject fast fashion. We create durable, functional pieces like our signature garden holsters and Renaissance pouches that are meant to be used and loved for years.

Materials with Soul

We use high-quality Swedish and Italian vegetable-tanned leather, soft yarns, and natural wood. We choose materials that soften, patina, and grow more beautiful with age.

Art That Lives in Your Hands

Every stitch, cut, and loop is made with intention. When you hold a Southbay piece, you are holding a genuine piece of Scandinavian craftsmanship.
