What started as the struggle to find the perfect wallet evolved into something more.

A young woman with red hair, smiling, wearing a black baseball cap and white t-shirt, standing outdoors in sunlight with trees and a rainbow decoration overhead, surrounded by other people.

Alicen Star was created when the search for a funky, high quality, and affordable leather wallet turned up nothing. Thus, I struck out to learn leathercraft and made my first leather wallet for myself. I immediately fell in love with the craft & began making bracelets, tote bags, anything I could dream up.

This brand was born out of my love for color, texture, and BIFL items that normal people can afford. Leather is such a unique and special material; it carries such a warmth, and connects us all the way back to the cave people that came before us. I love the idea that humans are still adorning ourselves in the same materials we have for millennia.
