Meet Brynn
Meet the creative force behind the brand, Brynn Capella – a true blend of coastal cool and city chic. 🌊🏙️
Brynn, a self-taught designer and entrepreneur, turned her passion project into a thriving business that's been making waves since 2009.
Growing up in Southern California with two mid-western parents and an older sister, she cherished every moment at the beach, soaking in the ocean, sand, and sun. After moving to her dad's home town of Chicago (in the darkness of winter), it became her mission to help women everywhere step out of their comfort zone and embrace the California sunshine in their wardrobe.
She creates leather goods that are the perfect blend of her laidback upbringing and her need for city functionality. For her, it's all about comfort, style, versatility and color, when it comes to your everyday carry-all.

What We Make
We handcraft all of our products exclusively on the south-side of Chicago in small batch production only.
We are proud to be a local manufacturing team with ethical labor, wage and sustainability practices since the company began. Unlike other brands, Brynn vows her commitment to being made in the USA will never change.
Her leather goods are made to help you look good AND feel good...where beauty meets functionality in everything she does.
Every style is designed and named after the friend that inspired it... from our modern Kimerly tri-fold wallets and our to our studded Nikki clutch/crossbody bags to our signature Lauren bag and more.
Made In Chicago
The joy of being a part of the process from designing to events and connecting with customers is like no other. The intimacy of having one on one conversations with women at yearly events shows the difference between what Brynn offers versus corporations.
What keeps her going is when women get compliments like they’ve never received before and she can feel their pure excitement from the discovery of her brand. Brynn loves taking this opportunity to really connect.
Our Leathers
We source our buttery soft full grain leathers from Italy, South America and the USA from companies based in the United States. This allows us to order in smaller quantities but still offer a large variety of colors and leather finishes, from aniline to semi-aniline and distressed vintage styles too.
Because every finish wears differently over time, Brynn loves to help women learn how to care for their investments. We offer made in USA leather care products and doing weekly lives on Facebook to answer any questions fans have.
As a little to-no waste brand, Brynn prides herself on utilizing as much of the hide as possible with the addition of her small leather goods, like wallets, key fobs, leather bracelets and guitar inspired bag straps.
Real Women Models
Diversity and inclusion is at the core of our brand and Brynn wants you to be authentically you. Her bags are designed for you and your everyday life, so she wanted everyday women modeling them. All the models are real women not professional models, from friends to women she has randomly approached when out and about in Chicago.
We take pride in designing and handcrafting all our leather goods, right here in the USA, now & always.
Complimentary US shipping on all orders $250+ with hassle-free returns.
We stand behind our craftsmanship with a quality guarantee & are personally here to answer your questions (no call center).
