about

Welcome! I am Ivey Patton and I make bags and sometimes other things in my garage studio in Durango, Colorado. I have three children, a sweet husband, two other jobs, and a book in the works. I am not the type who does it all, but I'll keep trying. 

I love fabric and leather, both old and new. I love old textiles that have a history woven through them. I like taking something and making it into something else. I love nestling a vintage fabric into a work horse canvas to make a classic carry-all with an old soul. Wilder bags are built to last forever. Your bag will age gracefully. Your Wilder bag will become a part of your everyday adventure. Hell, it will lead the charge!

Welcome to Wilder! Welcome to our world! We are making sturdy bags out of awesome materials that will inspire your adventures. I hope you'll join our journey and be inspired on your own!

BigLove,
Ivey
