Testimonials

I love my bag from Nest Pure! I have a beautiful cactus leather fanny pack with a woven strap. It is stunning! The vegan leather has held up beautifully and has been really easy to care for. I love that I can dress it up or down. It's been the best vegan leather bag I have ever purchased!

nest PURE bags and pouches are beautiful!  I’ve bought and used several myself - they are so thoughtfully and well made with lovely little details and beautiful materials.  

I have gifted a few to others (my sister and niece) and they treasure them and use them often!  

Plus with your purchase, you are supporting a local maker who uses high quality materials and whose designs evolve with great care.

I purchased this bag after coming across Nest Pure's booth at summer art festivals in the cities. This bag is gorgeous, I love the interchangeability from over the shoulder to backpack style. Look forward to purchasing again in the future!

I purchased one of these purses a year ago at an art fair and I absolutely LOVE IT! It still looks as good as the day I got it. Easy to clean, construction is so durable (and I'm a mom of two boys and run a construction company, no one is harder on things than I am), it's light weight and it works for all seasons. It truly is a fun, creative and practical work of art. If you're thinking about it - do it. You will be so happy you did.
