About Parker

Introduction

Hi, I’m Margaret Parker — and I’m so glad you’re here.

For over 34 years, I’ve dedicated myself to the art of leathercraft. Every bag, wallet, and accessory I design is shaped with care, finished by hand, and guided by a deep respect for materials that are made to last.

What began as a quiet passion in a small workshop has grown into something much greater: a way to create honest, enduring pieces for women who appreciate quality, purpose, and timeless style.

The Journey

It all started with a few tools, a stack of hides, and a deep belief that things worth making are worth making well. There’s something grounding about working with your hands — feeling each cut, each stitch, and watching a simple material transform into something beautiful and useful.

Over the years, I’ve poured myself into every piece — not just to make something stylish, but to make something that matters. Something that travels with you, holds your essentials, and grows better with time.

Why I Love What I Do

For me, working with leather has never just been about bags. It’s always been about creating with intention — crafting pieces that are lasting, graceful, and true to their purpose.

Every Parker Leathergoods piece is the result of thoughtful design, hand-selected materials (both leather and vegan alternatives), and hours of quiet craftsmanship. There’s a quiet joy in seeing it all come together — knowing that what began as raw material now carries meaning in someone else’s life.

Looking Ahead

As I step into retirement, my values remain unchanged. I still believe in slow, intentional craftsmanship — and this final collection is my way of closing the chapter.

These are the last bags I’ll ever make. They’re not mass-produced. They’re not rushed. They are the best of everything I’ve learned — made with heart, and signed with pride.

Thank you for being here. Your support means more than I can express. And if one of my pieces finds its way into your hands, I hope it serves you as well as this craft has served me.
