Remade USA makes recycled leather handbags from vintage jackets and other waste materials. The company was founded in 2009 by Shannon South, a product designer by training and a minimalist at heart. She had never been a big consumer of products and found herself conflicted by the idea of adding new ones to a world that was already overflowing with stuff. After moving around several times, she started noticing the only things she was hanging on to were the ones that had meaning for her – memories of certain events, experiences or people.

Our Story
Shannon had a vintage leather jacket that she hadn’t worn in ages. She also had an obsession with handbags – making and designing them. Remade USA was born out as an experiment with an old jacket. She loved the result and got a ton of compliments on it. Soon after, Shannon was combing every thrift store in San Francisco looking for jackets that had nice leather and interesting details. Within a month of launching her website, she’d been written up on Daily Candy (remember them?) and had her first order from Barney’s New York.

Our Bags
All of our bags are made using materials sourced from the waste stream. We only make bags from discarded or no-longer-in-use materials and have three collections. Our Remade Readymade collection consists of recycled leather bags made from vintage leather that we source ourselves and studio remnants from previous projects. Our Remade to Order collection is an upcycling service where we use leather sent to us by our customers to repurpose their personal jackets into bags. These bags often carry a strong sentimental value – connected to a time, place, history, or a loved one. Lastly, our Shannon South collection is made from new leather hides that have been rejected from the furniture industry.
