About Ginkgo Leather

Ginkgo Leather is back…bolder, slower, & more intentional than ever. Rooted in sustainable practices & small-batch production, each piece is designed with gallery shops, boutique hotels, and museum gift shops in mind as well as for all buyers who are seeking soulful, elevated, artisan-made goods. Every piece is made-to-order by hand in my Atl studio, using character-rich, small-batch leathers in earthy tones like rustic charcoal, chocolate brown, and weathered green turquoise. From raw-edged crossbody bags to minimal wallets and key fobs, Ginkgo’s offerings are a blend of southwestern, bohemian minimalism, and indie vintage aesthetics…functional art that feels grounded, raw, and refined. Nothing is mass-produced. Every bag or accessory is one-of-a-kind, shaped by the spirit of the hide itself. If you’re searching for artisan leather goods, southwestern-inspired accessories, or slow-crafted pieces with a story, welcome. ••• I’m Beth Dryden, and I’ve been working in leather for over 14 years. Each piece is created by my two hands. From cutting and shaping to finalizing & detailing, I don’t use mass-market patterns or pre-cut kits…just my own designs, instincts, and rhythm. My work reflects a commitment to rustic minimalism, quiet utility, and soulful, sustainable design. Ethos: • Sustainably minded (leather is a natural, durable material) • No waste - - every scrap is used • Small-batch and made-to-order • One-woman studio • One-of-a-kind designs • Made to last - - Slow MadeRead their story
