The Afternoon Bag

The Relaxed Tote

The Gallery Tote

Handbags and totes made from reclaimed textiles that you won't find anywhere else.

Every bag is handcrafted by a single artist in a small studio.

Each design is made using sustainable, limited-run, or vintage fabrics, for a look that outlasts trends.

Welcome to Fine & Splendid Things, a studio and shop where slow making, soulful beauty, and storied objects come together.

Here you’ll find small-batch collections of handmade bags and home goods made from heirloom fabrics and rescued textiles, alongside curated vintage decor, art, and re-loved treasures that carry meaning and memory.

The studio is located at Village Gate Square in Rochester, NY, where the door opens for First Fridays, seasonal releases, and occasional gatherings. Online, I share collections, stories, and glimpses of what’s taking shape behind the scenes.

Fine & Splendid Things is more than a place—it’s a philosophy. A belief that beauty is worth seeking, that ordinary things can hold meaning, and that making still matters. Equity and resistance live here too, and all are welcome.
