What People Are Saying

The cross-body bag is an everyday essential. I use it everywhere I go and it's especially great when travelling. I had my first bag for 10+ years and just got a new one that is just as great as the last. Highly recommend!

I have purchased two bags from Laurie and they are both stunning. They are well made with clean lines and a Nordic flare. I receive compliments on them frequently and am proud to share such quality local work.

Last autumn, I was visiting in Stillwater and saw Laurie’s wool purses/accessories and immediately fell in love with them. Her attention to detail, colors and of course user friendly…I ordered the larger bag in a lime green with leather straps. I use it mainly for my cross stitch projects and have received numerous compliments. Laurie also was so accommodating in my order process from Michigan. I can’t say enough about that. I also ordered another bag for a Christmas present and that one was totally loved too. I hope to order more this year. I hope you order too…you will be very pleased.

About
For me, a good tote bag is an essential item. I have always loved bags—the different styles, colors, and designers. So, L E S BAGS is my love for totes and bags using beautiful wool felt and quality leather. I use high quality wool felt for all my totes and bags with high quality leather for the straps and handles. I believe my bags are simple, timeless, and classic. Each bag is handmade by me from the first cut of the fabric to the final stitch with no mass production. My bags provide a nice pop of color or a subtle color compliment to any outfit. I believe everyone needs a great tote!
I have been making totes and bags out of wool felt for the past eight years. It is 100% wool, durable, eco-friendly, moisture resistant, and comes in beautiful colors.
The leather I use now was introduced to me by Ryan at Carmine Jack Leather Co. It is from J&FJ Baker & Co. and the story behind the tannery is amazing. They are Britain’s only remaining oak bark tannery. This leather is beautiful and really enhances my wool felt totes.
