Our Story

Where It Began

Alder & Thread was born from a simple belief: the things you carry every day should be worth carrying. We set out to create bags, scarves, and accessories that are thoughtfully designed, honestly made, and built to last.

What We Stand For

We work with small-batch makers and carefully selected materials — full-grain leathers, natural linens, cashmere blends — chosen for how they wear over time, not just how they look on a shelf. Every piece is meant to get better with age.

The Name

Alder is a tree known for its quiet resilience. Thread is what holds things together. That's what we're going for: products that hold up, and a brand that stays with you.
