The Loyal Workshop was founded to provide an opportunity for freedom. Modern day slavery is a phenomenon that we are not prepared to be apathetic about. We believe that another world is possible; a world where sex slavery is relegated to the history books. It’s a brazen dream but we’re putting it into action in one city, in one red-light community, with one woman at a time.

We believe that business can be a tool to bring freedom to those trapped in slavery. Our business IS about freedom. Every product we create is part of a woman’s freedom journey. Thanks for your support.

Our artisans: are women from backgrounds of poverty, each with their own story of trauma and oppression: sold, stolen, trafficked and forced against their will into the sex trade. Without prospect of finding alternative employment, they were trapped. But still with dreams, talents and larger than life personalities.

Vegetable tanning adds to the beauty and authenticity of our products. We love to show off the natural character of our leather. As well as being eco-friendly, each and every satchel is unique and distinctive in its markings. We hope you will like it as much as we do.

Every piece is handmade and one-of-a-kind, so the shape, size and colour will vary per piece.
— Materials: Premium, ethically produced vegetable tanned leather. Stainless steel hardware
— The Leather we have selected has been chosen for its strength and durability but also for its natural full grain look. The veg-tanning process allows the full character of the leather to be exposed, honestly displaying the patina accumulated over a lifetime already lived. In its second lifetime as a Loyal satchel, it will darken slightly and develop more character. This heavy stiff leather has the substance to protect your cargo and maintains its shape.
Hardware - Naked, polished stainless steel roller buckles and rivets; sturdy and tarnish resistant.
Thread - Hand stitched .8mm Gauge woven polyester; super resilient, stretch proof and UV resistant.
