Hi, I’m Nicole

Kilner Goods began when I made a simple tote bag from a vintage leather jacket I found at a thrift store. I began to make more, work on the style I liked, incorporated vintage fabrics and textiles, and eventually found my niche – unique, useable bags that don’t look cookie cutter 😉 They’re a little bit 70s, a little bit edgy, a little bit quirky.

I work from home, holed up in my basement, designing and creating these bags! I’m always striving to learn new techniques, improve my skills, use new-to-me materials, in order to keep creative and enthusiastic about making these babies!
