Vaya Bags, New York, NY
Is a small, independent company based out of NYC where they hand-make messenger bags & accessories out of recycled materials (i.e. bike tubes, and canvas scraps from sailboat awnings). They are women-owned and operated and all of their products are eco-friendly and vegan.  Check them out if you need a new bag!

Tom Bihn, Seattle, WA
All of Tom Bihn’s bags are made in their factory in Seattle, WA.  These bags are solid.  I own three, my boyfriend owns one.  I have the Medium Messenger Bag, The ID, and the Brain Cell.  I expect these will last me my entire life, they are that tough.

WaterField, San Francisco, CA
No mass production or overseas workforce.  WaterField bags are designed and made in San Francisco, where rent is high, labor is expensive, and competition is intense.  We wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Leather Artisan, Childwold, NY
Handbags, wallets, belts and more.  Located in the beautiful Adirondack Mountains.  They have a few items not Made in the USA, so make sure the item says Made in the USA on the product page.

Duluth Pack, Duluth, MN
Beautiful handcrafted canvas backpacks, bags and luggage, made in the usa since 1870!  You gotta love a company that is still using the same manufacturing methods they used back in the 1900′s.  I like it, I like it!!!

Handcrafted, high-end leather business cases for professionals.  Jack Georges is working very hard at keeping manufacturing at their facility in Northern New Jersey.  They are able to offer their University, Platinum, Sienna Woven and Belting collections all Made in the USA.  This information was verified by me via email with their company directly.  If you have any questions regarding where any of their products are manufactured, please contact them directly before placing an order.

Tracy Joy, Lake Zurich, IL
While searching for a new camera bag that I could fit my SLR, lens, batteries, memory cards etc, along with my wallet, cell phone, makeup & sunglasses, etc, etc…I came across this company in Illinois that has very hip, trendy bags for women, and the exact type of bag I was looking for. The big bonus is all their bags are proudly Made In The USA!

UPDATE: Received my Tracy Joy bag and I absolutley love it! I can fit my camera and all my stuff, wallet, cell phone, sunglasses, sunscreen etc. in this one bag. I love the padded interior, helps keep my camera safe and secure, thanks Tracy Joy! Here is a pic of my bag below…it is the Kristine bag with the “Mod Earth” fabric.
