Welcome to Junie leather craftsmanship: Where every handmade piece has a story.
Hello everyone! I am Junie, the founder and passionate creator of Junie Boutique Leather Bags. I would like to share with you the journey that turned my dream into reality, a story that began when I was still a teenager.
A young start with big ambitions
At the tender age of 15, I started selling handmade leather goods at the flea market with my grandfather
It was more than just a hobby; I discovered the magic of connecting with people through the art of leatherworking.

Rome: The city that rekindled my fire
Despite my deep love for the leather trade, I studied economics in Chicago because I believed it was the most sensible decision.
But my heart never left the craft. It was a life-changing trip to Rome that reignited my passion.
I was overwhelmed by the artistic spirit of the city, its streets lined with history and romance.
In Rome, I fell in love all over again - not only with the city, but also with the art of making leather bags.
Determined to delve deeper into the subject, I traveled through Europe and learned from masters who taught me the ancient techniques that now define my creations.

Realizing dreams in the smallest of spaces
When I returned to the US, life brought me love and partnership in the form of my wife, and together we set out to realize my dream.
At the age of 27, I opened my first boutique in a picturesque corner of Los Angeles with very little money and a lot of determination.
These first few years were a rollercoaster ride with highs and lows.
It was difficult to reconcile the demands of a new company with family life, especially with my daughter Lisa.
But with every challenge came a new opportunity to grow, improve and create leather bags that make people's lives easier.

Leather bags that are worth the journey
Over the years, my little boutique has become a destination for leather lovers.
Word spread far beyond Los Angeles; some customers have traveled from far and wide to visit us and we have been lucky enough to be mentioned in the local press.
It was humbling and gratifying to see customers from far-flung cities wanting to experience the magic of our handmade pieces first-hand.
They wanted more than just bags - they wanted the stories, the craftsmanship and the personal touch that each piece promised.
This incredible response has further fueled my passion and inspired me to continue creating leather bags that are worth the journey, no matter the distance.
