About

The Copper Bass was born from more than a love of leather—it was born from rediscovering myself.

​

My name is Sara, and I'm the maker behind every piece. My journey into leathercraft began as a postpartum mother of two, living overseas in Germany as a military spouse. In the midst of a season that was both beautiful and challenging, I set out with one simple goal: to make my own leather purse. I had no idea that one project would reignite a creative spark I thought I had lost.

​

That first purse became much more than an accessory. It became a way to reconnect with my artistic spirit, find purpose through creating with my hands, and build something that was entirely my own. What started as a personal project soon grew into a passion, and eventually, The Copper Bass.

​

Today, I blend traditional leathercraft with thoughtful design to create heirloom-quality leather goods that are meant to be used, loved, and passed down for generations. I believe every cow hide deserves a second life with purpose. Each piece is carefully handcrafted to honor the animal by transforming it into something beautiful, functional, and enduring.

​

From the first cut to the final stitch, every detail is completed by hand with patience, intention, and respect for the craft. Inspired by nature and a love for timeless craftsmanship, I create functional works of art that tell a story—not only of meticulous craftsmanship, but of resilience, renewal, and finding yourself again.

Thank you for being here and for supporting handmade. I hope something I create becomes part of your story, too.
