Our Journey

Crafting Timeless Leather Goods

SO WHAT IS STITCHED CANVAS?

Welcome to Stitched Canvas & Leather, where craftsmanship, quality, and adventure intersect. Our journey began with a passion for creating leather goods that stand the test of time. Inspired by the rugged beauty of the Pacific Northwest, we set out to design handcrafted products that reflect the spirit of exploration and the art of fine craftsmanship.

Every piece we create tells a story, from the initial cut of premium leather to the final stitch that holds it all together. At Stitched Canvas & Leather, we believe in doing things the right way—crafting each product with care, attention to detail, and a deep respect for traditional techniques, while embracing the beauty of the natural world.

Handcrafted with Passion

Every bag, wallet, and accessory is carefully handcrafted, ensuring that each piece is not just a product, but a work of art. We use only the finest materials—premium leather, waxed canvas, and durable hardware—to create products that are not only visually striking but built to endure.

We draw inspiration from our surroundings: the lush green forests, misty mountains, and pristine landscapes of the Pacific Northwest. These environments influence not just our designs, but our commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship. We are proud to create products that honor nature, with a focus on durability and timeless style that can be passed down through generations.

Meet the Maker: Lisa’s Story

Hi! I’m Lisa, the maker behind Stitched Canvas & Leather.

Before I started working with leather and canvas, I was a welder for years. For the past 15 years, I’ve been running a machine shop with my husband here on the beautiful West Coast of British Columbia, in Sechelt. We design and build everyday carry (EDC) gear—and that’s where my journey into leatherwork began.

I’ve always loved working with my hands, and I’d always wanted to try leathercraft. I started by making sheaths and pouches for our EDC gear and quickly fell in love with the process. That passion turned into Stitched Canvas & Leather.

Today, I handmake each piece myself using premium leather and rugged waxed canvas. Inspired by the laid-back, practical West Coast lifestyle, I design bags, wallets, and accessories that are made to be used—day in and day out. Whether you're heading into the forest, the city, or just living your everyday life, I want my gear to fit right in.

I love the creative process of trying new things, and I care deeply about quality. Every item is crafted to last, with timeless style and honest materials.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you find something you love—and that it becomes part of your daily carry for years to come.
