we describe the wavy headband as an easy and effortless accessory because it is lightweight, comfortable, and simply functional

it adds just a touch of whimsy to your outfits yet remains versatile enough to pair with anything in your wardrobe

What goes into a Fado Made accessory? 1. 12 years

What goes into a Fado Made accessory?

1. 12 years of leather work experience
2. quality materials
3. love
4. patience
4. tape
5. a lot of glue

Did you know that the infrastructure and interlining of many of our accessories include tape and glue?

These materials are used to help keep things underneath the exterior leather in place as well as bind certain materials together

In this case, once glue was applied to the vegetable tanned leather, we added a heart-shaped piece of chipboard to give the leather a strong and stiff backing

It’s been a year 🥲
But as always, I’m incredibly GRATEFUL

I haven’t decided if me sharing this reel is cringy or not, but I’ve obviously decided to it anyway and share a little of how I felt this year…

Year two down running Fado Made full-time, and I naively thought it would be easier than the 1st. I started 2024 with so much confidence, momentum, and optimism, and held onto that feeling for the first couple of months, but slowly I feel like I lost my “mojo” and was faced with a lot of defeat, frustration, disappointment, and second-guessing.

Though slowly, Fado Made continues to grow and even if I am not exactly where I want to be right now, I have faith that good things are coming and the hard work I’ve put in will pay off eventually

It’s been a hard year for small business owners, so I know I am not alone. I admire anyone who puts themselves out there with the intention to build something that they believe in, and need to remember that for myself as well.

But again, I am grateful that I am able to do this. Thank you for being here and supporting my small business and big dream

Here’s to 2025. I hope it brings you good health and prosperity❤️

—Jamie

A LOOK BACK AT 2024 ✨ My second year managing F

"My Fado Made wallet is amazing. I get compliments every time I pull it out. Excellent craftsmanship and quality materials. I feel lucky to carry a piece of functional art with me everyday!"

"Jamie made a beautiful custom belt to match a belt buckle I got while traveling. She did an amazing job listening to my needs and complimenting the buckle's design. She is a great craftsman."

"Jamie puts so much time into each one of her leather pieces! From my strawberry and sunshine keychain, to my custom order and snake belt (Beth Meadows collab) - this is one of my favorite local makers."

"My Cross Your Heart bag is beautiful with a fun yellow floral pattern and it makes mom life so much more convenient. My magnetic snap pouch and mini pocket wallet get complimented all the time. I cannot recommend Fado Made and her work enough."

"Super chic, one of a kind bag custom made to my loving and more! Jamie is professional, reliable, and produces high quality work in a timely manner. Love how easy she is to work with and her special creative touches!"

"Jamie is incredibly talented! She helped me design the purse of my dreams and the finished product blew me away!! She made the custom process so easy by talking me through my design ideas, sending drawings of how the finished product would look, and sending pictures of her leather options. If you are looking for a stunning, handmade leather good - look no further!!"

"I have a small collection of FadoMade pieces! Every time she shares a new style I want it too! I even have a couple of custom items. She gave me a choice of leathers and asked detailed questions to make sure the design was perfect. The quality of the leathers she uses, her attention to detail and her incredible talent are what keep me coming back for more. If you don't have any FadoMade goods, it's time!"

"Fado Made is responsible for some of my favorite gifts. Jamie creates unique, custom pieces that inspire and are durable!"
