Hi, I’m Jen

Hi, I’m Jen — the maker, designer, and heart behind Wood & Threads by Jen. Every bag you see in my shop is handmade in small batches from my little workspace from home in California, where my kitchen table often turns into a mini studio filled with linen, thread, fabric scraps, and a cup of coffee always nearby.

I’ve always found comfort in creating things with my hands. What started as simple sewing projects slowly grew into a passion for making pieces that feel beautiful, useful, and intentional. I love stitching textures together — soft linen, double gauze prints, quilted layers, and suede zipper pulls — and turning them into everyday essentials people truly enjoy using.

My goal is simple:

To create pieces that bring a little calm, beauty, and function into everyday life. Something you can toss in your bag, keep on your counter, take on a trip, or gift to someone you love.

Every pouch is carefully cut, quilted, stitched, and packaged by me. I put time into the details — the structure, the pockets, the zippers, the inside seams — because I want each piece to last and feel special.

When you shop from my small business, you’re not just buying a bag. You’re supporting the work I do from home while balancing motherhood, family life, and the joy of building something that’s truly mine. You’re also helping me continue growing and creating new designs that I hope you’ll love.

Thank you for being here. Thank you for choosing handmade. And thank you for supporting my little corner of creativity.

With appreciation,

Jen
