Upcycled Leather Bags

Uptown Redesigns offers individually designed and crafted upcyced leather bags made from previously-loved, but outdated leather jackets.

The Upcycling Process

Each Uptown Redesigns original leather bag begins with an outdated item that retains salvageable and durable qualities.

The materials are deconstructed and cleaned, and the design process begins. Each piece and element is manipulated and reworked into a functional design, leveraging the material’s original character.

All bags are carefully built to last and incorporate reinforced materials, a sturdy interior base, reliable new hardware, and new canvas lining.

Each bag is truly one-of-a-kind, boasting expert craftsmanship and individual attention to detail. Carrying an Uptown Redesigns bag honors not only the past and the present, but also showcases individualized high-quality construction and design, and the power of small business ownership in the USA.
