About the Owner

I’m Caitlyn, the owner, designer, and leatherworker, behind the Hazel Ray brand. I hand make every single item listed here. I do all of this while listening to music way too loud in my Chicago studio. My grandmother and business’ namesake, Hazel Ray, taught me how to sew when I was a child. I designed and sewed clothing throughout high school, which was essential as a plus size girly in the late 90’s. In college, I joined the theater costume shop where I gained valuable knowledge and skill. After graduation, I discovered the amazing medium of leather and never looked back. I started my company, Hazel Ray, in an effort to bring a bit of fun and joy to the bag world. And yes, my bags fit folks of all sizes! Your bag is by your side everyday and carries your most essential goods- it should fit you and be cute!
