About Us

Welcome to my small leathercraft shop…

My name is Carrie Fox and I’m a leathersmith located in the heart of Pennsylvania. My workshop is in my home in the village of Strodes Mills.

Here at Carrie Fox Leather (formerly Morning Glory Teahouse), I make original leather bags, totes and accessories using high quality full grain leather hides. All of my leather bags are stitched by hand (saddle stitch, buck stitch, or cross stitch). These stitches are much stronger than a machine stitch. This technique is much more time-consuming, but really allows the craftsmanship to show.

Some of my bags or totes have vintage fabric interior liners and pockets which are made using a sewing machine, but the exterior of the leather bags are all sewn by my hand.

The decorative, hand stamped veg tanned leather panels used on my crossbody bags, and my veg tanned leather shoulder straps are also hand made by me.

All of my leather goods are one of a kind due to the unique leather markings on the hides (blemishes, scars, scratches, bug bites, creases, etc). These shouldn’t be considered flaws or defects. They add beauty and character, making each bag unique.

Over time, your leather bag will develop a beautiful patina and feel softer and broken in after repetitive use.

My husband is my occasional helper. He enjoys helping with the thought process of each product design, and cutting the rustic wooden tree branch buttons we make to adorn our Fair Isle boot sweaters. Our three loving cats provide much joy and entertainment.
