Some men are great…but I think we can agree that a lot of them are overrated😘

Especially for those who (like me) are by choice single and childless, Valentine’s Day doesn’t feel like it’s for us. But several years ago, I decided to take it back. Who should you love, and show love, to more than YOU?! Whether you’re single and child free or married with 9 kiddos, this remains true🖤

So this is a gentle reminder as the day approaches that you will always be your most important Valentine, whether or not you happen to have a spare 😉

If you’re looking to treat your Valentine to something special this year, the Cult has you covered, with *guilt free luxe leather accessories - made with love by skilled artisans, from tannery to workshop.
*Completely free from assembly lines, labor exploitation, or polluting practices🌎

CALLING ALL INTERNATIONAL BABES! Located outside the US? Now you can place an order on the site, normal-style! (No more PayPal invoicing 🖤)

The website has been changing lately (have you noticed?!) - one of the big changes has been to integrate international shipping options into the sites checkout🌎

Each country has to be added one at a time, so currently the available options are countries I’ve previously shipped to; they are: Canada, UK, Australia, Germany, Spain, France, Netherlands, Brazil, Norway, Singapore, Italy, New Zealand, Switzerland, and Sweden!

If you’re located in a country not listed, please let me know, and I’ll add the location to the website. Shipping fees for each location are still available on the ‘international orders’ tab on the website.

I’m always working to improve the website experience in every way I can, from ease of browsing or finding something specific, to finding additional information on my small business in general. If you have any feedback to share - I would absolutely love to hear it!

I’m tired of being lied to. I’m tired of trying to buy anything, and not being able to tell what, exactly, I’m buying. When did that become the status quo?! It’s literally insane.

Even luxury brands, that charge thousands of dollars for one item, do so without clearly describing what you will even get for your hard earned money…using vague descriptions with the words ‘high quality’ in front of them, instead of any viable indicator of what ‘quality’ even means anymore 🤔

And there’s a BIG reason for that: The quality isn’t there. Any business that invests in the best materials for their products will be going out of their way to tell you ALL about it. It would be ridiculous not to.

‘Quality’ today is manufactured using expensive ads, inflated prices, and a nauseating amount of labels. When you buy a designer piece, your money isn’t going toward thoughtfully sourced materials, it’s going to ad spend and hype.

I’ve set out to do the opposite: both in my own small business, as well as in the content I share. For my business, I operate with absolute transparency. For my content, I tell you what to look for, regardless of where you shop, to empower you to find real quality, avoid being ripped off, and know what your dollar is supporting.

As a leatherworker, I specialize in leather, but the information I share often extends to other products. And leather is also one of the things that brands are most able to mislead you on. 90% of leather produced today is tanned using inexpensive and harmful chrome tanning. NINETY PERCENT😳 So that luxury bag that is ‘made of high quality leather’…will not only look terrible in a few years, it supports worker exploitation and environmental degradation.

So the Leather Cult…yeah,it IS a cult. One that is obsessively devoted to restoring the meaning of luxury: to be less about the price tag or label, and all about that fine Italian vegetable tanned leather (the 10% babe).

Will you join me?😘

Elevate your wardrobe with intention—choose quality over quantity to embrace sustainability. Fashion is not merely what you wear; it’s a reflection of your values, a testament to your discernment, and an opportunity to express your individuality with grace.

By investing in timeless items crafted with care, you champion the artisans behind the work, reduce waste, and move away from the fleeting allure of fast fashion. Imagine your closet as a curated gallery of sophistication—a collection of enduring pieces, each one telling a story of thoughtful craftsmanship and ethical integrity.

How can you start dressing sustainably? Begin with these mindful steps:

• Seek out versatile staples made from organic, eco-conscious materials designed to last.
• Support brands with a transparent commitment to fair labor practices and environmental stewardship.
• Prioritize quality over quantity—one impeccably made piece will always transcend the charm of a dozen fleeting trends.
• Explore bespoke tailoring or secondhand shops for unique pieces that celebrate individuality.

Sustainability is not a compromise; it’s a commitment to elegance, distinction, and responsible living. When you “buy less and buy better,” you honor not only the beauty of your wardrobe, but also the well-being of the planet.🌎

Refine your style, redefine your values. Sustainability starts with choices as exquisite as they are ethical.
