Every bag begins as a cowboy boot with character and is transformed into wearable art. Designed for women who value originality and artistry, these bags aren’t just accessories—they’re heirlooms meant to be carried, noticed, and cherished.

Meet the Artist Behind the Bags with Soul

Hi Friend,

I’m Chris Thompson, and I elevate cowboy boots into wearable art. Every bag begins with character—found in boots I’ve treasured since day one—and becomes a one-of-a-kind piece for women who value originality, artistry, and a style that speaks before they do.

Enjoy the journey!
Chris
