Pendleton Wool & Handbags
Hello! My name is Jessie, and I’m the owner and magic maker behind Land & Kamp. I create one of a kind handmade, sustainable canvas and Pendleton wool bags and lifestyle goods in my Portland, Oregon studio. Growing up in Camas, Washington, my mom frequently took me to the Pendleton Mill in Washougal. Blankets were a very important purchase for the home because they were so expensive. They were extra special, as we purchased them knowing the blanket would be in our family for life.
