You may be wondering where the name 3Bird comes from, or what it represents. We’re happy to share the story behind it.

We are Brandon and Rach—best friends, partners in life, parents, and creators. Our journey began when Rach was searching for something meaningful to pursue, something she could truly feel passionate about beyond her role as a mother. Initially, we considered starting something related to children, as it seemed a natural extension of her existing passion. However, one evening while browsing online, Rach discovered leatherworking. An interest was sparked, and soon after, we ordered a beginner kit and some leather to explore the craft further.

What followed were many attempts, some failures, and a great deal of learning through online resources and the support of a few close friends. But with time, we found ourselves increasingly captivated by the process of leather crafting. It became clear that this was something we could truly invest in, both creatively and personally.

The name 3Bird reflects our family—specifically, our then three, now four children, whom we affectionately refer to as our “little birds.” While the name itself is simple, its meaning runs deeper.

Our children inspired us to build a business with a purpose. As parents, we are committed to minimizing our environmental impact and promoting sustainability in all aspects of our work. We want our children to inherit the same clean, vibrant world we grew up in, and we believe it’s important to do our part in protecting that future.

Leather, when sourced responsibly, is a sustainable material. Unlike synthetic alternatives, it is a natural, durable product that can last for many years, reducing the need for frequent replacements. Additionally, leather is biodegradable and can be repurposed, which helps to minimize waste. Leather is also a byproduct of the meat industry, making it a natural and sustainable material that would otherwise go to waste. Through these practices, leather becomes a sustainable choice that aligns with our commitment to environmental stewardship.

In addition, we prioritize eco-friendly practices in our packaging. Our mailers are 100% compostable, our boxes are made from recycled cardboard, and our product packaging is fully recyclable.

At 3Bird, we are driven by a commitment to craftsmanship, sustainability, and family. Thank you for being part of our journey.
