The Countdown to Christmas Continues ...
Midnight Madness this past weekend was truly special. Thank you to everyone who braved the cold and stopped by our booth at Cahoots. Whether you picked up gifts, revisited a favorite piece, or simply came to say hello, your presence meant a great deal to us. Moments like these remind us why we do what we do. Creating pieces that become part of your everyday story.
|
As we head deeper into the festive season, we’re excited to share new creations, upcoming events, and a few highlights from the studio. We hope these small glimpses inspire your holiday gifting or help you find something meaningful for yourself.

With gratitude,
Isabel & Shailesh

Check out our new Handcrafted Leather Tassel with a gold-tone chunky spring gate ring. Made from premium Italian leather and finished by hand, this piece adds a refined accent to any bag or key set. Lightweight, durable, and stylish, it is a small detail that brings a touch of quiet luxury to everyday moments. A perfect gift for someone who already has everything.

Join Us at the Tiny Expo on Dec 13
We’re excited to be part of the Tiny Expo again this year, taking place on December 13 at the Ann Arbor District Library downtown. This show is one of our favorites because it brings together so many talented local makers and the community that supports them.
|
We’ll have a curated selection of handcrafted leather goods ready for holiday gifting. Whether you’re stopping by to pick out a gift, browse new designs, or just say hello, we’d love to meet you.
|
|
This will be our last indoor show this year. We may be at The Sunday Artisan Market this Sunday or next, but that depends on the weather. If you have any of our pieces in mind as a perfect holiday gift for someone (or yourself), take this final opportunity to come meet us in person.

Celebrating Community: Filming Our Story at Anastasia & Katie’s Coffee Shop
|
|
This past Tuesday, we had the opportunity to film a short introduction video about Arbor Trading Post as part of the CSED program for Michigan small businesses. We’re excited to share the final video soon. The recording took place at Anastasia & Katie’s Coffee Shop in Livonia, an incredible café built on inclusion, opportunity, and community impact. Their team graciously opened their space to us, and we are grateful for the work they do every day to create meaningful employment for individuals with disabilities. It was the perfect setting to tell our story.
