It began with an iPad
While working a corporate job, I was just looking for a stylish way to carry my new iPad. I ended up designing a simple crossbody bag, clean lines, just enough structure, and a bit of personal flair. I wore it into the office, and before I knew it, coworkers were asking for their own. What started as a creative outlet after hours quickly turned into late nights, custom orders, and something much bigger.
A year later, I made the leap, leaving the corporate world behind to build Daylin Skye full time. Every bag since has been handcrafted by me, with care and intention, in my California studio. I work with beautiful leathers and thoughtfully chosen materials to create pieces that feel elevated but effortless, bags that fit your life, not the other way around.
Rooted in Craft, Inspired by Individuality
I grew up watching my dad, a minister and a carpenter, build things and take on new ideas with determinatioin, always teaching me to take pride in the details, even the ones no one else would see. My mom, a cake decorator, brought beauty and creativity into everything she touched.
That blend of discipline and artistry is where I come from.
I'm a self-taught designer, drawn to clean lines, thoughtful design, and the kind of stitching that feels as good as it looks. I design all my own patterns, always chasing a sense of individuality and purpose in every piece I make.
For me, Daylin Skye is more than a brand, it’s personal. It’s about creating something honest, useful, and beautiful, something that quietly stands out because of how it’s made, not just how it looks.
A Journey That Started at the Kitchen Table
In 2012, what began as a creative spark in my home studio turned into my very first bag collection. I mixed bold fabrics with classic silhouettes, and before long, I found a small but passionate community of people who connected with what I was making. They appreciated the care that went into every stitch, and the beauty found both inside and out.
Over the years, my work has evolved. I now focus exclusively on premium leathers, refined details, and thoughtfully sourced hardware. Every piece is made by hand, right here in my Southern California studio. It’s a quiet space full of natural light, little messes, a lot of heart, and often, the company of my loyal doxies by my side.
This is what Daylin Skye is all about: intentional design, artisan quality, and that grounded luxury that only comes from something made slowly, with love.
