Payment & Turnaround Time

  • Payment: Due when boots are dropped off or mailed in. I accept Cash (in person), Check, Zelle, Venmo, or PayPal (3% fee for PayPal).
  • Turnaround: Typically, I complete custom orders within days, not weeks. However, during busy show seasons, I cannot guarantee holiday delivery timelines. For the best chance of having your bag ready by a special date, please plan to order during the summer months, when I have more availability.

Here are a couple happy custom customers...

"I cannot say enough on how professional and caring Chris Thompson has been to work with.  My father passed away suddenly and left a huge hole in my heart.  I had the honor of inheriting his only pair of cowboy boots, which were over 37 years old and for the past few years were kept out in his workshop.  I wanted to make them into a bag that I could have with me at special events in my life.  The first few people I contacted told me due to the poor condition of the boots they could not work with them.  I then found Chris!  I sent her pictures of the boots and she told me, “I haven’t met a pair of boots I wasn’t able to work with yet.”  Boy, she was right!!!   She made a beautiful bucket bag out of my dad’s boots!  My bag is perfect and exceeded my expectations!  I could not be happier!  Every time I use my bag, I will not only think of my dad but also of Chris, a very talented, caring person who was willing to help me remember my dad in this very special way."

"WOW!!  The only thing I can say about working with Chris to have a custom handbag created for my sister! 

My sister's husband passed away and we took his favorite boots and had a handbag made for my sister for Christmas.  I found Chris Thompson Bags by searching online.  When I reached out to Chris she was quick to respond and answered all of my questions.  

Many of the beautiful bags and accessories Chris creates have a more western flair, which isn't really my sister's style.  Chris worked with me to create something custom that was more simple and better suited for her.  Chris provided great ideas and options as I explained what we were trying to create. In addition to helping bring our vision to life, Chris had a great turnaround time.

When we gave the handbag to my sister she loved it, not realizing it was from her husband's boots.  When we told her the full story she broke out in tears!  She absolutely loved it and thought it was the most special and beautiful gift!  Honestly, it turned out better than I had hoped!

If you're looking for a beautiful, handcrafted bag or accessory, reach out to Chris!  She has a special craft and is wonderful to work with."

"Chris - Just opened my package. Love, love, love it! My husband could not believe the workmanship, he was very impressed."
