Meet the Maker

Small Hours is a Toronto-based independent leather goods brand. Every piece is designed and handmade by Jenny.

Jenny picked up leather-working in 2015 and was hooked—the slow pace, the feel of the material, and the satisfaction of a clean line of stitching. She'd already spent years in graphic design and loved to sew, so in 2017, Small Hours followed.

Today she designs and handcrafts key tags, card cases, wallets, passport sleeves, pouches, and bags in small batches from her Toronto studio. Simple, considered, and a little playful.

Materials & Craft

Every piece is designed and handmade in Toronto in small batches.

Jenny works mostly with smooth Spanish leather in a classic box-calf style, a traditional finish known for its fine grain and vibrant colour. It's a structured leather with a medium temper, chosen for both its character and its longevity.

She also works with Italian vegetable-tanned leather, a traditional, slow-tanned leather known for its natural finish and rich patina it develops over time. Each piece begins with a clean, neutral hide and ages into something uniquely yours.

All hardware used is solid brass, paired with YKK zippers, the industry standard for quality and longevity. Edges are finished with a clear coat by hand for a clean finish that holds up to daily use.

Complimentary personalization is available on most styles. Each piece is finished with care and built to be carried for years.
