We love people, and we’re proud of the people who are a part of what we do here at Kelly Moore Bag. Our teams, our makers, our administrators, and our artisans, are incredible people, and this weekend, we want to highlight some of the incredible artisans who helped to make our bags as beautiful and sturdy as they are! We'd like to introduce you to Rosario García and Felipe Martínez, just two of the amazing team that create your handcrafted goods. We’ve asked them some questions, and wanted you to be able to hear their stories — because they’re stunning stories that deserve to be told.

Rosario García, Pre-assembly Supervisor

• Why do you like doing what you do?
  I like that we do work for several clients, and knowing all of the different ways we can make bags and the details of each style and that captivates me.
• What bag or item is your favorite to make from Kelly Moore Bag & why?
  The one that I like the most is the Daniela Tote. I like the structure and, even without the basket, I like it a lot.
• What makes you feel proud about your work?
  I feel very proud of knowing that a lot of people in the US are using these products that I contribute to handcrafting. If I ever see a bag of Kelly Moore or another client in a store, I will feel very proud saying "I used my hands to make that bag."
• How did you get started in working with leather? 
  I started when I was a teenager in a small shoe workshop. After that I started here as a pre-assembly process person, and now I am the supervisor of my area.

Felipe Martínez, Pod Supervisor 

• Why do you like doing what you do (making bags)?
  I like the handcrafting work, the leather process and the environment here.
• What bag or item is your favorite to make from Kelly Moore Bag & why?
  I do like several of them, but I can say my favorite is the Taylor Backpack. It has a great process, looks really good, and it is very functional too.
• What makes you feel proud about your work?
  My growth, because I started as a simple stitcher and now I am a supervisor. I am proud of the team we have here and the relationship we all have inside the factory.
• How did you get started in working with leather?
  I started in a small workshop working with really simple leather. Then I started here and I learned a lot about how to deal and work with different leathers, several thicknesses, and ways to work with them.

This is just a snapshot of some of the beautiful people who help to make Kelly Moore Bag what it is today. We celebrate and honor their work!
