Our Ethos
Kinshop is an independent leather studio and workshop founded by Sarah Mallory in Salmon, Idaho. We create thoughtfully designed, handcrafted goods built to be used, loved, and to evolve with you—gaining a rich patina that tells your story.
The Joy in Making: We prioritize production on a small scale, where each step is intentional.
Less, but Better: We subscribe to the idea of conscious consumption, where quality and longevity outweigh quantity and obsolescence.
A Journey in Every Piece: We believe everyday goods should tell a story, reflective of their owner’s lifestyle.
Classic Design: We strive to create products that stand the test of time.
Inspired by Idaho’s Wild Places: The light on the river, the rugged mountains—these landscapes shape our work.
Our Story
Kinshop began in 2013 in Cincinnati, Ohio, a dream shared between sisters—creating together and sharing art with the world. My makeshift workshop moved from my sister’s basement to the back of my ‘93 Toyota station wagon as my path led me westward, guiding rivers and crafting leather goods along the way.
Today, Kinshop has a permanent home in Salmon, Idaho, nestled along the river with views of the Beaverhead Mountains. Here, we find joy in the simplicity of making.
Follow along on all of my adventures in and out of the studio on Instagram.
