FAQ's

Are my bags made from New or Old boots?

Both! I buy singles directly from manufacturers AND I have a truck that automatically stops at every thrift store and garage sale within 500 miles of my home in search of boot beauties! So there may be scuffs or spots from either the manufacturing process or from being previously loved/worn but we think it adds to the character of the finished bag.

What kind of sewing machine do I use?

I actually don't use a sewing machine. I hand-punch, hand-rivet and hand lace all my bags.

Can I make a purse from your cowboy boots?

Yes! I love to making memorial bags and custom bags from your boots. Please see the Details and then email with your wishes and we'll get started on how to make them come true. 

Do I wholesale or light bulk?

Please check out my current wholesale policy here. 

How do you care for your bag?

Honestly the more distressed they get the more character they have! However, it is a good idea to dust your bag with a soft brush or cloth and use a leather cleaner/conditioner...we make it simple with our Care Kits. Do not store in plastic bags or newspaper.

Everyone wants to know where I get my boots?

That's top secret :) But I sure enjoy giving them all a second life!

Are they full boots to start with or just shafts?

Full boots that I cut the feet off of with my band saw. Gotta love power tools!

Do I take boot donations?

Yes! Please send your boots to Chris Thompson 2501 W. Wickenburg Way #155 Wickenburg, AZ 85390

What do I do with the leftover foot part?

I use the foot to make fun wall hooks (think something to hang your keys from) and the toes for cool wall crosses. Can't find them on the online store? I'm in production, stay tuned!

Do I do repairs?

Yes, but only on my bags. You pay for shipping and any material needed. Please contact me for info.

Do I offer Refunds/Exchanges?

You can read my policy here.
