A Gentle Goodbye, and a Hopeful Future
Hi there, I’m Joan. I’m truly grateful you’ve found your way to my little workshop. For over 39 years, I have been crafting leather bags with love, patience, and a deep dedication to quality. What began as a simple passion slowly grew into something much more. It became a meaningful way to share pieces of my heart with people who value craftsmanship, tradition, and the beauty of a well-made bag.
A Lifetime of Craft, A Legacy of Love
Welcome to Joan’s Bags, a small-batch boutique where every handbag is a reflection of dedication, craftsmanship, and timeless style. For over three decades, this little shop has been my passion project, my creative sanctuary, and my way of bringing beauty into everyday life, one handmade bag at a time.
What started as a quiet dream in a cozy corner of town has grown into a beloved destination for those who appreciate slow fashion, artisanal quality, and the story behind every stitch. Each piece in this shop is personally handcrafted by me, Joan. No machines. No mass production. Just my hands, quality materials, and a heart full of intention. From soft leathers to detailed linings, every element is chosen with care to ensure your bag isn’t just an accessory, it’s a companion.
A Bittersweet Farewell
As I approach the next chapter of my life, I’ve made the heartfelt decision to retire. This shop has been my pride and joy, and I’m so grateful to every customer who supported this dream, from first-time visitors to lifelong friends. Your love and loyalty have meant more than words can express.
I invite you to explore the final collection of Joan’s Bags, each one infused with years of experience, love, and meaning. This is more than a goodbye, it’s a celebration of everything we’ve built together. Thank you for letting me be a part of your story and for being such a meaningful part of mine.
