Excellent craftsmanship

Just received this for as a Christmas gift. I love it. Beautifully made. I love the touch of red in it. I’m a purse snob and never heard of this company but my husband did and ordered it. I love it and can’t wait to carry it.

Styling Is Everything!

Such a beautiful looking Cross-body bag. I wear this everywhere and love the white color I chose which has selective black and red details. It’s the perfect summer look. And I love supporting such a GREAT cause and organization!

Why Pingree is Different?

At Pingree Detroit, we’re not just crafting products—we’re designing impact into everything we do. Every product we make is a testament to our commitment to sustainability, quality, and neighborhood resiliency. By using upcycled leather, we’re reducing waste and turning it into handcrafted goods that stand the test of time. But what truly sets us apart is the people behind the work.

We proudly employ Detroiters and Veterans; paying a living wage and reinvesting 77% of profits back into the workers and neighborhoods where we work. Being rooted in a mission-driven environment, working with your hands, and being part of something bigger than yourself is restorative. You can be proud knowing your purchase is making a difference and you’ll know who it’s making a difference for, since each product comes with a "Maker Card".

We LOVE Sustainable Products

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Our products are crafted using upcycled leather that would otherwise go to the landfill. By giving this leather a second life, we’re reducing waste and minimizing our environmental impact while delivering high-quality goods built to last.

But sustainability isn’t just about the materials; it’s about reimagining "waste" and designing around circularity. From our eco-conscious production and shipping methods to our commitment to maximizing well-being for our workers, customers, and the environment, we believe every step matters. When you choose a Pingree product, you’re choosing something better—for the planet, for people, and for our collective future.
