Chris Thompson Bags
Unique Purses, Handbags & Totes Hand-Crafted from Reclaimed Cowboy Boots
I hand-craft unique leather purses, handbags and totes from reclaimed cowboy boots. My collections include cross-body purses, handbags with fringe, shoulder bags, wine and whiskey totes and concealed carry purses. I am a conservative Christian, woman owned and operated business successfully selling my hand-crafted, one-of-a-kind bags in fine art shows, western events, online and in my brick and mortar for twelve years. I've been called the Louis Vuitton of Cowboy Boot Purses. I also make Memorial bags for those who supply me their boots

WHY CHOOSE Chris Thompson Bags?
-
Made in the USA Although the boots I use are mostly made in Mexico, many are from Texas manufactures and they are all turned into bags in my AZ home studio!
-
Hand-crafted not mass-produced I hand-cut, hand-lace and hand-rivet every bag, purse and tote. Each is one-of-a-kind, numbered and no two the same. I sign each of my handbags and purses and don't use any machinery except my bandsaw to cut off the feet.
-
Recycled materials The boots I turn into bags are not sellable, wearable pairs. They are salesman or designer singles, rejects, returns or mismatched pairs and were going to end up in landfills. I use a lot of recycled belts in my work as well.
