Choose a versatile design that transitions seamlessly from exploring new cities to attending stylish soirées. While checking time when traveling is a big no-no (you are there to have fun, remember?), you wouldn’t want to miss the tour-bus, the live-event, or worse, your flight (or would you? I would. Definitely.)

Leather shoes not only elevate your travel attire but also ensure durability and support for exploring new destinations. With this in mind, handcrafted leather footwear complements your outfit with sophistication.
Small Wallets and Multi-Purpose Bags
Small wallets and multipurpose bags are the globetrotter’s ultimate accessory, offering versatility and style. Choose a lightweight and compact leather wallet to carry your most used cards and few cash. My dear friend Jeff, aka Sunrise Leather Co knows best about functionality, quality and compact style. Make sure you check out his amazing work in his Etsy Shop, and enjoy a lifetime repair and replacement guarantee (which I assure you that you won’t need it, this guy makes things to last you two lifetimes).
Handmade leather multi-purpose bags can store all the little things you have to bring with you and have them handy right when you need them. Truth is, those knick-knacks are never enough. My dear friend Melissa – aka Turbo for pals, is not just another leather crafter – she is a true Artist (yes, with a big damn “A”). She puts her heart and soul in her creations and I promise you that once you have her goodies in your hands, there is no turning back: You will instantly fall in love.
