b.may bags is a line of artisanal leather handbags designed and handmade to order in Petoskey, Michigan. With a background in fine arts textiles and film production designer Barbara May left the hectic lifestyle of east coast cities for the tranquil shores of Lake Michigan.   She literally dreamed up her first handbag in 2001 . Now available in select high-end boutiques and specialty stores across the country,  b.may bags offers exquisitely designed leather accessories with an eye toward both beauty and versatility.

Dedicated to a minimalist design philosophy and eschewing unnecessary adornments and hardware, b.may represents a unique point of view in the accessories market. Crafted from exceptional materials, including hand painted embossed cowhide, Italian leathers, natural python, and other exotic skins, each piece in the collection is an ideal balance of structure, material, and color.
