Primecut
"Unfussy and simple, we make bags for the unique individual. Each bag is thoughtfully designed with its intended purpose in mind and is handcrafted in our Portland, Oregan studio."
Primecut was founded in 2013. Deep in the confines of her basement, Lizzie Everson began experimenting with leather bags. She was intrigued by the diversity and unique properties of hair-on-hide. Using her mother’s old Pfaff sewing machine along with an old Yamata industrial machine, she experimented with different leathers, sizes, proportions, and manufacturing techniques.
In 2017, Lizzie moved from her basement to Primecut’s current studio. Since 2013, she has upgraded her manufacturing to include new machines, employees, and a light-filled production studio.
Primecut's process begins with carefully sourcing cowhides and shearling from tanneries throughout the world. Each material is selected based on its quality, weight, and durability. The design process speaks to the nature of the material with both a sense of aesthetic proportion and a bit of playfulness. Slight variations in pattern, color, and texture represent the uniqueness in each Primecut piece.
