Our Story
Hank & Henrietta was created from my love for handbags, beautiful leather, & handcrafted goods.
When designing each piece I try to create unique bags that are one of a kind & a product that stands out in a crowd.
Hank & Henrietta is reviving the time honored Artisan craft of handmade leather goods. Every piece is thoughtfully designed & crafted in-house using the finest leather hides handpicked with unique features and marks that add character and beauty to each product.
Each bag and accessory is made one by one in my workshop here in Salinas, California.
Dollies. Pom Pom Earrings are a new amazing product we are handcrafted to add fun, color and fashion to your look.
