Hey there! I'm Brielle, the owner, designer, and sole stitcher behind High Desert Fringe.

​

When I'm not in the studio slingin' bags, you can find me here in the High Desert heart of Oregon—a small farming community that provides endless inspiration. I'm a wife and a busy boy mom, spending most of my time chasing my guys and all our critters on our ever-growing little farm. There’s nothing better than collecting the beautiful colored eggs from our flock of chickens, snuggling on our stubborn-but-cute Highland calf, and giving too much attention to my Frenchie baby. I also love hiking and exploring all the untamed beauty Central Oregon has to offer.

But enough about me—let's get to why you're really here... the leather!

​

High Desert Fringe started with my love for the rugged beauty of the West and the charm that comes from things made by hand. It all officially kicked off on my dining room table back in 2019. I didn't start small as some may think—I just jumped right in, and my very first item was a full-on crossbody bag! What began as a simple hobby—cutting leather, matching cowhide patterns, and experimenting with fringe—slowly grew into my passion for creating pieces that feel personal, unique, and made to last.

​

Every bag and accessory at High Desert Fringe begins the same way: with one-of-a-kind hide and a design idea inspired by desert colors, open skies, and western flair. Since I'm the only one crafting the pieces, no item ever looks exactly like another, and that is what makes my work special. Each hide's pattern, texture, and natural cut tells its own story before it even becomes a bag, wallet, or accessory.

I put care into every step, from choosing the right materials to stitching details that make each item sturdy enough for everyday adventures. High Desert Fringe isn't about mass production; it's about me creating something real, something made by hand, and something that lets people express their own style.

My mission is simple: to craft leather and cowhide pieces that make people feel confident, unique, and connected to the spirit of the desert. Whether it's a fringe bag that turns heads or a small accessory that becomes part of your daily routine, each item is made with intention and individuality.

High Desert Fringe is more than just a business; it's a little piece of the West that I make for you, carried with you wherever you go.
