In 2007, Brittany started "the original" hide fashion handbag company named, Holy Cow Couture. It was humble beginnings for Brittany making purses one by one in her parent's garage. You could hear the pounding and sewing into the early morning hours filling the garage with fresh leather smells. When each purse was finished, they were loaded up in the trunk of her car and sold at the college she attended. As social media took off in the next decade so did "the original" hide fashion handbag! If you're wondering how the name came about, Brittany says "customers would say, 'holy cow look at the handbag where did you get it?', so I decided on Holy Cow Couture for the name."

"Everything is handmade," says Brittany. "Our process comes down to, a sewing machine, manpower, and scissors." That process may be reminiscent of those used by leatherworkers of old, but the sales method is modern.

While Brittany would like the company to expand to be an online presence that is known as "The Original" hide fashion handbags, her priority always will be quality and keeping it made in the USA. Today, her mom, dad, and sister join Brittany in downtown Lincoln, California to make this a true family-run business.

Brittany says, "I like to have a splash of every type of high-end fashion, I don't always want to walk around with cowboy boots: I want to walk around with a leather bag with some really nice pieces so I can wear my stilettos and go out on the town too!"

Brittany says "we're not chasing trends - we're creating them with some classy, classic and timeless pieces."
