Lindquist
LINDQUIST is a Rhode Island leather goods studio creating timeless bags with a focus on craftsmanship, natural materials, and thoughtful design. Founded by Lindy McDonough, every piece is designed, cut, sewn, and finished by hand under one roof in East Providence. Made from vegetable-tanned leather and non-toxic materials, each bag balances soft structure with everyday function. The natural grain of the leather and subtle marks of the maker give every piece its own character, which only deepens with wear.
WHAT MAKES THIS BRAND SUSTAINABLE
Every LINDQUIST bag is thoughtfully designed and handcrafted entirely in-house at their Rhode Island studio, allowing complete control over quality and sustainable practices. Creating their product in-house reduces the pollution and waste that often accrues as a result of transportation-related processes, while also helping support and stimulate local craftsmanship here in the USA.
This brand produces in small batches to avoid overproduction and waste, ensuring that their pieces find homes in closets rather than landfills. Especially precise pattern-making and material usage also ensure that each leather hide is utilized to its maximum potential, minimizing scraps and waste that could occur throughout the production process.
LINDQUIST is committed to using only the highest quality natural materials, selecting vegetable-tanned leather processed exclusively with natural tannins to avoid harmful chemicals like chrome. This approach ensures that each piece not only supports environmental health but also ages beautifully over time. The brand further prioritizes non-toxic production by relying solely on plant-based dyes and VOC-free adhesives, creating finishes that are safe for both the wearer and the planet.
