Everyone needs a bag.

For the past 4 years we have been building durable Leather + Canvas bags for folks near and far. Our shop is located in between a major railroad hub here in the city bringing in and exporting materials all over the midwest. Downtown Indianapolis is a short walk from our Fountain Square based shop. We source our materials right downtown Indianapolis at the historic Landwerlen Leather surrounded by thriving bars and restaurants. It is so easy to get wrapped into the daily grind and to oversee the growth of our homeless community. There are communities of poverty stricken folks that are in need of a lending hand.

One afternoon while running errands I looked past the steering wheel of my truck and was able to really see the living environment that these folks hand to endure and I had to ask myself, “What can I do to help”. Feeling as though I didn’t really posses the means to lend money being a small business owner i knew there was a better way. It clicked for me to utilize the skills that I use everyday. I had an epiphany that everyone on this earth has or needs a bag. Something as simple as a tote bag to carry your possessions. Whether you are running to a meeting, going grocery shopping, a day at the beach, or trying to survive the day to day on the streets. It all made sense and I knew what Howl + Hide needed to do.

In partnership with Mayer fabrics, we would like to introduce Packs for Life.

For every tote purchased a tote will be donated full of daily essentials and distributed to the homeless in need.
