About

My name is Britta McCarthy and I make all Edla bags in New England. 

I am passionate about sustainability, conscious consumption and production, and design. I choose materials that have low environmental impacts and longevity. 

I use only vegetable tanned leather, which uses natural tannins, like those from tree bark, in the tanning process. I use natural fiber textiles and natural dyes for non leather items. 

The name Edla pays homage to my great grandmother.
