About Copper Moon

Some objects are made to be replaced.
Others are made to become part of your life.

Copper Moon creates handcrafted leather bags designed for women drawn to simplicity, substance, and quiet beauty. Inspired by the landscapes and culture of the Southwest, each piece balances soft structure, enduring materials, and understated detail.

Every bag is made in small batches in a century-old adobe studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico using premium English Bridle leather chosen for its richness, strength, and the way it deepens with time.

The design philosophy behind Copper Moon is rooted in restraint:
clean lines, honest materials, and forms that feel timeless rather than trend-driven.

These are bags meant to be carried often, worn beautifully, and kept for years.

Designed with intention.
Shaped by the Southwest.

Craftsmanship

Each Copper Moon bag is carefully cut, assembled, and finished by hand in our New Mexico studio.

Years spent working in leather craftsmanship and design inform every detail — from proportion and balance to durability and feel in the hand.

We believe luxury should feel personal, tactile, and lasting

Materials

Copper Moon bags are made using premium English Bridle leather from Wickett & Craig — a heritage tannery known for producing some of the finest vegetable-tanned leathers in the United States.

Chosen for its character and longevity, the leather develops a rich patina unique to the person who carries it.

About our Studio: 

Our Shop is in a Gorgeous 100 year old adobe house. It's been all kinds of things over the years, a coffee house, a home, a print shop, and a boarding house for railroad workers in the old days. Now we operate our studio out of the back and house a showroom in the front along with AxilStudio.com
