OUR PURPOSE



Named for Impact:
The Whittier, was named after abolitionist, poet and quaker, John Greenleaf Whittier. Many in Detroit know this as a street named Whittier, and the Whittier Hotel - few know about the tremendous legacy of this abolitionist who lived to serve all people and did so as a founding member of the American Anti-Slavery Society who signed the Anti-Slavery Declaration of 1833. We celebrate the courage of all people who stand up for what’s right no matter the cost, with our Whittier wallet.

Great

Bought this for myself. I wanted something sleek and simple. The colors are gorgeous and it fits a lot for the size.

Compact and Perfect

This low-profile wallet will allow for several cards and has a handy zipper pocket for change/keys. I loved the contrasting colors and the feel of the leather. Perfect accent to my Detroit Drawstring Bag.

Pingree France

I just received my Lake Superior Blue wallet, it was out of stock so I chose to wait patiently while it was made. It is everything I wanted in a coin purse. I meant to purchase one while back home in Detroit but ran out of time, so the $18.00 for shipping to France was unfortunate but I’m still happy with my purchase. Au revoir de la France 🇫🇷

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.
