Chic Sparrow Information

Soon the entire kitchen was taken over by leather, tools, and dye - and then operation moved to the garage. Only 5 weeks later, it became obvious that orders were not slowing down: if Chic Sparrow was going to survive, Jennifer couldn't keep doing it on her own. She leased commercial space and her husband, Mark, quit his corporate job so they could build Chic Sparrow side-by-side. In three years, we've come a long way from that kitchen table covered in leather and string. Chic Sparrow is now the largest manufacturer of handmade leather notebooks in North America. Responsible stewardship and quality are our core values, so we use only full grain leather from cows that were used for food. Chic Sparrow has grown to include hand-crafted leather goods, handbags, and top-quality paper inserts - and an online community of traveler's notebook devotees. The Chic Sparrow family has grown, too. Many of our employees work side by side with their cousin, sibling, or spouse. We're proud to create more than a dozen flexible and well-paying jobs for working parents, stay at home moms, and the hearing impaired. "Our lives are very much like leather," says Jennifer. "Tough, flexible, scarred, and full of rich memories." Chic Sparrow's Team
