Our Story
Understated Rebellion
Sangre de Mar is a Mexican-Canadian leather house. The pieces are designed in New Westminster, British Columbia, handcrafted in Mexico, and—for selected hand-finished editions — finished one piece at a time by Alejandro Miramontes at his studio bench in Canada.
The brand was born from the dialogue between two Pacific coasts: the warm, raw beauty of Mexico's south — Zipolite, Mazunte, Puerto Vallarta — and the cooler, modern restraint of the Pacific Northwest. Mexican heat meets British Columbia beauty and stillness. The result is a collection of objects that are quiet on the surface and defiant in the detail: full-grain pebbled leather, hand-pressed brass studs, hair-on-hide, hand-finished tassels, unlined interiors that signal construction over decoration.
Sangre de Mar makes three kinds of pieces.
La Casa · Curated. The ready-now collection. Foundational silhouettes — totes, weekenders, crossbodies — handcrafted in Mexico to the same standards as every Sangre de Mar piece.
La Mano · Hand-Finished. Pieces that begin in Mexico and are finished in Canada — studs hand-pressed, edges hand-burnished, tassels hand-stitched. No two are identical. Each carries a slight variation that is the mark of the hand.
La Firma · Original. Limited-edition designs originated by the house, made in small batches. Pieces meant to be the most personal object you own.
Across all three tiers, we make fewer, better things — built to soften, patina, and outlast a decade of daily use.
