Let customers speak for us
I’ve just received my cross-body bag and am excited to start using it. The quality, attention to detail from the stitches to the packaging to the thoughtful thank you note demonstrate commitment and passion for the product and client satisfaction. I added the hassle and the canvas pouch; all items are great! Thank you so much Demerese!
The bag is beautifully made and the extra back pocket is perfect. I can’t wait to use the bag on my upcoming trip.
I love my new crossbody. It's beautiful and functional. Thank you.
Looking for a lighter and smaller bag, this fits the bill nicely. Well made, nice leather quality and good neutral color. My only recommendation, as someone who carries a longer wallet, the internal safety snaps could be used if mounted to snap over rather than under.
It is a fantastic bag, beautifully made. I can’t wait to take on my upcoming trip to Europe.
I absolutely love my new Maple Crossbody, its absolutely perfect. I really wanted a new bag for my 50th birthday trip to Japan and I reached out to Demerese with questions. She was very helpful but unfortunately I didnt have time to get one custom made before I left. Luckily for me, she had this new Maple Crossbody bag already in stock and so I decided to go for it and I couldnt be happier, it is exactly what I was looking for. So many pockets and the perfect size. Customer service was A+ and the bag is gorgeous!
I was on the lookout for a cross body purse for an upcoming trip. I try to support local artists and I appreciate handcrafted pieces. I saw an Instagram post by Tod Maffin listing small Canadian businesses hit hard by tarifs and Sparrow was one of them. I check out their bag and it was a clear choice. I love my bag. 🥰
I love the bag - beautifully crafted with lovely materials. I am so glad I found your site through Todd Maffin's Mainstreet initiative. I'll be back for more!
Just received my bag. It is beautiful and well made. I wore it today and received a lot of compliments.
I love the purse and it was exactly what I had hoped for. Very well made and I love that it is Canadian made. Thanks so much!!
It is the perfect size and love the colorful flower front and the zippered pouch is a nice addition. Well mader
I love my new journal and appreciate the time and thought put into making it. Definitely buy.
I had been looking for a new purse and saw Sparrow Handmade on a "buy Canadian" video and immediately hopped on their site. This bag is beautifully crafted and a great size. I'm so glad I saw the ad and found a great, Canadian company to support!
I love my pretty Sparrow Cambridge Crossbody bag. I love the quality - you can tell someone cared about their work. Every detail is done with care. A pocket for keys & phone, large enough to carry a few things but not too heavy. I love it and I love that it’s made in Canada 🇨🇦
Great product. I love it.

The bags I wanted, made by me
You know the frustration of finding a bag that looks right but doesn't quite work. Too bulky, too small, no pockets where you need them, or beautifully made, but out of budget.
That’s why I started making bags.
I wanted something simple, practical, and comfortable to carry all day, without sacrificing quality or paying luxury prices.
I handcraft every bag myself, from the first cut to the final stitch, using durable materials like canvas, waxed canvas, and leather. Thoughtful details and practical layouts keep your essentials within easy reach.
A bag you don’t have to think about, because it just works.
Supporting Alberta Wildlife
A portion of every purchase supports injured and orphaned wildlife in Alberta through my partnership with Alberta Institute for Wildlife Conservation. That support helped this little bear grow strong and return to the wild.
Watch the magic happen!
