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 Want to see more?

It’s been a year 🥲 But as always, I’m incredibly G 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 #leatherthatweathersasmile #handstitchedleather #slowfashionbrand #accessoriesbrand #sustainablefashion #smallleathergoods #highendhandmade #handbagdesigner #leatherhandbag #smallbusinessowner #femaleentrepreneur #smallbusiness #shopsmall #happynewyear #entrepreneurship #entrepreneur #entrepreneurlife
A LOOK BACK AT 2024 ✨ My second year managing Fad A LOOK BACK AT 2024 ✨ My second year managing Fado Made full time was honestly much harder than the first, something I naively did not expect. Through the growing pains though, I am looking back at the highlights that got me through this turbulent year… In 2024 I… ~ Rebranded! Fado Made got a new look with a revamped logo, colors, and ideology ~ Got a new website! I had the pleasure of working with the ever talented @jbirddigitaldesign and finally got a website up and running that coincided with my brand as it currently is, and where I see it going (thank you, @imjessmess 😘) ~ Added 2 more Namkesakes! To the Fado Made catalog, the Natalja and the Patricia (available soon) ~ Fulfilled a lifelong dream! By having my accessories featured in 2 fashion shows in Knoxville, TN and Austin, TX with @fleurishknoxville and @slowfashionfestatx. Here’s to doing even more in the future 🤞 ~ Collaborated! With @reclaim.creative for said fashion shows. Reclaim. is a brand I grateful admire and I’m so honored I was able to work with them this year 💖 ~ Got creative! Though this year was slow in certain ways, it was a great time for me to flex my creative muscles where I was able to create products that I’ve been thinking about for a long time. In the long run, I believe my leather working skills have improved and I’m always grateful for that opportunity ⚡️ Overall, I am thankful. It was a tough year, but I made it though. Thank you for being here, supporting my small business and big dream. I hope 2025 is your best year yet!

"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!"
