About Whitebirch Handmade Goods

Whitebirch Handmade Goods began while I was at home on maternity leave in Golden, BC. After making a pair of earrings for myself, I received tons of compliments and lots of interest and encouragement from friends and family. From there, I decided to start my Etsy shop. My earrings quickly became very popular and I had a pair featured in Chatelaine magazine in my first year! I had great feedback with my first style, and soon I was getting requests for different styles. The collection has now grown and some of the styles have been directly influenced by my customers! At Whitebirch we are committed to sustainability. To us, creating earrings sustainably means searching for sources of “pre-consumer” leather scrap. This can include leather that was discarded before it was ready for use (defective dyeing or finishing), leather that was discarded before it reached consumers (samples, swatches or overstock) or leather scraps that were produced while larger items were being made (pieces leftover after cutting out a pattern). Using this clean scrap capitalizes on the massive amounts of leather already produced and diverts leather that would otherwise be destined for the landfill. While I do purchase small pieces of “new” leather to accent my collections, I look for scrap packs whenever possible and use almost every square inch (hello, leather studs!). Very little leather hits the garbage can in my studio, and if I could find a way to use the leather confetti that remains, I would!
