AFTER TWENTY-FIVE YEARS, I'M CLOSING THE SHOP

Twenty-five years ago I set up a workbench in the back of a friend's frame shop here in Asheville, with my father's tools and no real idea what I was doing.

You made it work. Every single one of you. 🤍

I'm closing Linda's Bags for good. I'm sixty-two. My hands have had a long run, and I've had to be honest with myself about how many more years of cutting leather is in them. I would rather stop while the work is still good than keep going until it isn't.

So everything goes. Every bag on the shelves and every hide in the back — up to 70% off, all of it. And the more you take home, the more comes off.

Welcome to ROSE & MABEL - Charlottesville

Inspired by my father's workbench in Madison County and a belief in leather made to outlast me, I started Linda's Bags in a borrowed corner of Asheville.

Here, you're invited to carry something made by hand, wear it in until it's yours, and keep it far longer than you meant to — where hide, thread, and twenty-five years come together.

With love, Linda 🤍
