The Jikilikit Story (edit)
Jikilikit is a one-person business creating and selling one-of-a-kind leather goods for a discerning market. Our initial offering will be well-crafted purses and shoulder bags made to last for generations.
Something about why the passion for leather as a material…
Handmade goods have soul, creativity, and integrity built into them. They are much more of a treasure, as well as being more fun to own, than something which has been mass-manufactured. Jikilikit’s mission will be to offer purses, bags, and other goods which will sell at a more affordable price than comparable items from similar companies. These future heirlooms will be as functional as they are unique.

About Me (edit)
Hey there, I’m Jessey— the hands and heart behind Jikilikit. Every piece you’ll find here is handmade from genuine leather, crafted with care, patience, and passion. Come check out my Etsy shop and see what catches your fancy.
Ever since I was a young child I have had a flair for fashion and purposefully mismatching clothes, while not caring what people thought of my weird fashion sense. In my early twenties I watched Han Ji Soo’s handbag videos, which ignited the passion I now have for purses and similar items. I aim to bring my own unique take on handmade leather goods, while also reinventing the handbag. I take great pride in creating my work.
As an autistic and naturally quirky individual, I wish to make a living doing what I love to do, which is designing and producing leather goods. This love will go into each and every one of my leather creations. I adore geometric shapes and patterns, which I let flow throughout my handbags, as this becomes my personal motif. Handmade goods have soul, creativity, and integrity built into them. My being hyper-fixated on a product will ensure that it is made perfectly, as well as my attention to detail, which will result in goods tailored to each of Jikilikit’s customers and their personal styles.
Our Feline Staff (edit)
As feline staff, my two cats, Kevin and Loki, will be performing the duties of company mascots for Jikilikit. As part of our initial management team, these kitty mascots will assist in presenting our products. However, recognizing the limitations of feline participation, we will include human models as the company expands. At other times, we will hire a professional photographer specializing in pet photography to showcase Kevin and Loki with our products.
