About Half Ass Bags

One-Of-A-Kind Bags Made From What Others Leave Behind

Half Ass Bags was born from a simple idea: Beautiful things don't need to be perfect - they need to be honest.

Every bag is handmade, one of a kind, and created using upcylced fiber materials. No patterns repeated. No mass production. No shortcuts. Each piece carries its own character, history, and imperfections

-just like the people who wear them.

Based near Santa Fe, New Mexico, Half Ass Bags draws inspiration from the desert landscape, the Southwests raw textures, and a deep respect for craft and sustainability.

Why Upcycled Matters

We work with reclaimed and up cycled fibers because waste already exists - and it deserves a second life. By transforming discarded materials into functional art, we reduce waste and create bags that tell a story far beyond fashion.

This is a slow fashion by design:

. Made intentionally

.Crafted by hand     

. Built to last            

                                   .Created with respect for the planet       

No two Half Ass Bags will ever be the same - and that's exactly the point.

Made by Hand. Made With Purpose.

Each bag is thoughtfully constructed from start to finish. The process is tactile, experimental, and rooted in craftsmanship rather than trends. The result is a unique handmade bag that feels personal, expressive, and lived-in from day one.

Half Ass Bags are made for people who value:

.Sustainability over excess

                .Individuality over mass production 

.Art over perfection.           

    

Whether you carry it every day or save it for special moments, your bag becomes part of your story.
