I’m still walking on air after spending several days in NYC at @buildanest’s American Craft Convening. 31 other Makers and I not only got to hear the incredible expertise of the Hermès team on topics meant to grow our own businesses, but we also got to bask in the beauty of the Hermès maison on Madison Ave and connect back to just how much they value craft in everything they do. 

The Convening sessions were very nutrient dense! 🥹 I walked away with a handful of immediately actionable ideas thanks to the sessions and also to insightful conversations with the other Makers who I am so humbled to call my peers. 

Thank you to Hermès team who so graciously shared their time and knowledge, to my fellow Makers for *doing the thing* and speaking honestly about all of the wins and struggles, and especially the BIGGEST thanks to #MakersUnited @buildanest for the work they do to support, foster, encourage, and grow small, maker businesses like mine. This event is only one of the big, impactful things they do, and I feel so privileged to be a part of this guild 🙏🏼

#2024CraftConvening #MakersUnited
I am thrilled to be in New York City this weekend for @buildanest’s American Craft Convening!

It’s wonderful to get to know other makers and creatives from across the US, and learn best practices in branding, storytelling, and relationship building from the experts at
Hermès.

Thank you @buildanest and Hermès for this opportunity to learn how to grow my business and see her flourish 🌻

Someone asked me the other day what my favorite color is, and I pointed at this bag as my answer. Meet the Nuti suede hobo bag made in the most perfect shade of olive green. The bag's size is just right for carrying all your essentials without feeling oversized, and its soft suede texture adds a touch of luxury to your everyday look.

🪶✨ Behind Every Piece There’s a Story ✨🪶

Hey there! I'm Fannie, the face behind Lost Generation Goods. You often see the fruits of my labor – handmade leather goods and hand painted ceramics each with its own tale. But today, I want to pull back the curtain and share a bit of my own story.

I grew up on the Catawba reservation on land that has been with my people for centuries. Our culture taught me the importance of things that are well made and that can last forever. I still have countless objects from my mother & grandmother–like a pair of 60-year-old pinking shears that still cut beautifully and are better than anything I could buy today. 

I share that to let you know that I care about what I’m putting out into the world, and that the source of that care is in my blood. I have a big goal of doing this work full time, and while every Lost Generation purchase you make helps, I don’t want you to buy just to buy. I want you to buy my products because they fit a need for you. I made my first leather tote bag because I couldn’t find what I really wanted in the market, and instead, kept trying and buying pieces that were never what I really wanted. I’d love to do for you what I once did for myself: offer you that piece that truly suits you and that you can keep using forever.

Today, I spend as much time as I can creating: writing, making pottery, and sewing, lots of sewing. Currently, I’m honing my craft and my business acumen within the @accfi Fashion Incubator with the goal of turning this little leather hobby into a bigger fashion & lifestyle brand. 

I also serve on my tribe's Oversight Committee and do freelance web development. I love cats, podcasts, micron pens, platform shoes, Killian's “Back to Black,” astrology, storytelling, great albums on vinyl, and a sotol Negroni. 

When you choose one of my creations, my heart grows a size 💗  I love to make beautiful, useful things for other people, and every purchase makes the dream more of a reality. Thank you for joining me on this ride 🫶🏼
