Why Our Tote Bags Are Made in Mexico — and Why That Matters

Good Grace started with a phone call between family — a nephew in the U.S. and his aunt in Mexico — and one idea: make a tote bag good enough to carry every day, and make it in a way that carries people forward too.

Made in Mexico, by choice

Mexico has generations of textile and leather craft — skills you can see in every stitch of a Fernando Tote. Our bags are made from 100% natural canvas and finished with genuine leather straps by workers whose skill deserves more recognition than it usually gets.

The people behind the bags

Many of the workers who make our bags were deported from the United States and came back to Mexico starting over — new city, new work, new life. They're not a charity case. They're skilled people doing excellent work. We just believe excellent work should pay better.

Our commitment

A percentage of every Good Grace sale goes back to the workers who make our bags — paid as a direct bonus on top of their regular wages. It's not a marketing line. It's the reason the brand exists.

What "Good Grace" means

Grace is getting a second chance you didn't have to earn. Every bag carries that idea with it — for the people who make them, and for the person carrying it.
