Welcome to Bug and Birdie Co. — where two cavalier king Charles reign supreme, chew nothing they shouldn’t (mostly), and supervise every stitch with regal indifference.
We make vegetable-tanned leather goods that laugh in the face of planned obsolescence. Hand-stitched, built like a trustworthy friend, and finished with a classic, timeless design that only improves with age — our bags and trifold journal covers are inspired by everyday life and engineered for the long haul. They’re the sort of pieces that quietly elevate your daily routine while handling whatever you throw at them: commuter chaos, weekend wanderings, and the occasional dramatic coffee spill.
Bug provides moral support. Birdie approves of pockets. We provide luxury that lasts, made by human hands and meant to be used daily. Come for the dogs, stay for the leather.
