about
I'm Jessie, the owner and magic maker behind Land & Kamp. So glad you’re here! Land & Kamp serves lovers of bold patterns and naturally cozy textures with handcrafted wool purses and lifestyle goods through timeless designs. You should never have to look like anyone else which is why I only create one of a kind pieces with a style that truly belongs to only you. Happiness guaranteed.
Land & Kamp has been featured in Oregon 1859 Magazine and stays highly focused with small productions available in specialty stores Urbanite, MadeHere PDX and Timberline PDX throughout Portland, OR.
Growing up a country kid meant that moving to the city as an adult left me extremely bored. With no formal sewing or design education I took the basic sewing skills Mom taught at the kitchen table to create joyful purses and totes with bold pattern and natural textures.
My promise to you is that your personal style will never be replicated because each bag is made to be truly unique and is one of a kind so you’ll never see your neighbor wearing the identical purse. Find the handcrafted bag that makes you ridiculously happy and order the “one” that screams "you”! Stand out on in a crowd like a mid-day celebration! With Land & Kamp's versatile and durable bags you are guaranteed joy.
More Hands. More Heart. Less Waste.

Materials
I am very driven to locally source almost exclusively from the Pacific Northwest and USA such as Perfect Fit, Oregon Leather, Pendleton Woolen Mills, local hardware and fabric stores. All materials are carefully selected to ensure quality and lasting durability. I intentionally celebrate and champion the abundant characteristics of the fabric, like waxed canvas that creates a worn patina over time, similar to leather. These original features make for an exuberant and independent product that is truly distinctive.
CRAFTSMANSHIP
Honoring your individual style is designed into every element with the highest standards meaning cheap materials and labor will never be used. I make sure you receive only the highest quality of fabrics and hardware. Corners will never be cut to ensure the integrity of each item produced. I offer you hometown craftsmanship and local manufacturing right here in Portland, Oregon with my two little hands doing all the work.
After collecting the materials, everything is laid out on a barn wood table in my NE Portland home studio with a focus on texture, pattern and durability. With a cup of tea in hand, I analyze and re-organize the materials to produce a comforting collection of handcrafted goods for each season. After the designs are cut and assembled, zippers are hand-placed and sewn in, and each pillow is stuffed to perfection. Naturally, it takes extra time to make sure each piece is thoughtfully made and that all details are inspected by hand. Because we both know that long lasting relationships require hard work, a little extra time and a good sense of humor.
