LINDQUIST is an artisanal leather goods studio based in Rhode Island, centered on small-batch craftsmanship, natural materials, and an enduring sense of form.

Founded by designer Lindy McDonough, the brand operates entirely under one roof in East Providence, where every vegetable-dyed leather bag is entirely designed, cut, sewn, and finished by hand.

EXPLORE LINDQUIST

Each piece carries the marks of its making: the grain of leather, the hand of the maker, and the subtle shifts that come with wear. Rooted in sustainability and guided by a philosophy of balance and restraint, LINDQUIST creates goods designed not just to be worn, but to grow more meaningful with time.

what makes this brand sustainable?

ethical production

Each and every LINDQUIST piece is thoughtfully designed and handcrafted entirely in-house at their Rhode Island studio, allowing complete control over quality and sustainable practices.

Creating their product in-house reduces the pollution and waste that often accrues as a result of transportation-related processes, while also helping support and stimulate local craftsmanship here in the USA.

natural materials

LINDQUIST is committed to using only the highest quality natural materials, selecting vegetable-tanned leather processed exclusively with natural tannins and plant-based dyes. This approach ensures that each piece supports environmental health and ages beautifully over time.
