The Heartwood + Hide Co. is a micro business owned by Jayde and Chris. We are based near Tampa, Florida and we have been in business since 2021. 

Jayde became interested in sewing during 2020 when she grabbed Chris' grandmother's old Bernina sewing machine and taught herself to sew in a day with YouTube videos. She began making fabric masks during the Covid pandemic. Then her attention was shifted to the bag making community. Jayde had always had an eye for handbags, purses, and wallets and was excited at the prospect of making her own bags. She branded her projects with her own laser engraved leather tags and wooden bag charms.

Curiosity lead to finding other materials she could laser engrave tags on and also begged the question, could she make color printed tags as well? Together we found the equipment needed to make these tags. We launched our website shop in February of 2021 naming our company, The Heartwood and Hide Co. LLC. The name calls back to our beginnings when we were only engraving on wood (Heartwood) and leather (Hide). 

Now we are laser engraving on faux leather, Lux faux leather, cork, and leather for tags as well as laser engraving on acrylic for sewing templates and tools.

We are color printing on faux leather, Lux faux leather, and cork for tags as well as color printing on acrylic for bookmarks, bag charms, acrylic templates, and acrylic tools. 

The Heartwood + Hide Co. is our full time business and we are grateful to have been a part of the sewing, bag making, and quilting communities and hope to continue down this path of providing custom and fun retail items and designs for years to come.

Thank you very much for your support of our small business!
