Altered STUFF by April

I’m April, and since 2017 I’ve been transforming pre-loved, authentic luxury bags into handmade pieces that feel one-of-a-kind. From wallets and card cases to mini pouches, pill boxes and key fobs, I do everything myself—cutting, sewing, decorating, packing, and shipping—from right here in the US. Each item is made from upcycled canvas and leather, giving these materials a second chance to shine with personality and purpose. 

At Altered STUFF by April, I also offer custom handmade services tailored to your needs, whether it's size, quantity, or specific materials. If you’re someone who appreciates unique, functional accessories with a story behind them, I got you. You can reach me directly at [email protected] if you’re ready to order or want to ask me something—I'd love to hear from you! I'm based in Oak Harbor.

Imagine for a moment opening your closet and feeling exhilarated by the thought that each accessory not only adds a splash of style to your outfit but also paints a story worth sharing. That is the true enchantment of handcrafted accessories — pieces born from creativity, passion, and a deep connection to their maker. These unique treasures do more than just complement your look; they transform an ordinary ensemble into something extraordinary, filled with meaning and personality. 

Handmade accessories aren’t just fashion items; they are expressions of individuality and craftsmanship. Each handmade piece carries the unmistakable signature of its artisan — someone who poured hours, love, and skill into creating something truly special. Reach out today to learn more about my products! When you choose handmade, you're supporting a story, a passion, and a dream.

My work is for people who see value where others might not. If you're the kind of person who lights up at the idea of giving something a second life, or who loves owning something nobody else has, then you’re in the right place. I create for the collectors, the curious, the sentimental ones who care about details and the story behind what they carry. This isn't fast fashion—it’s slow, intentional, and made to feel personal. You’re not just buying a product; you’re connecting with a piece of someone’s past, brought back to life with purpose and love. 

Each piece holds a unique history and a new chapter waiting to be written by you. It’s about cherishing what’s real, meaningful, and thoughtfully crafted—making every accessory not just a style statement, but a heartfelt expression of individuality. Let your everyday essentials reflect your story, your style, and your spirit.
