Evenlight Eagles



Regional leather artist, Amy Eagles is deeply inspired by the harmonious rhythms of life and the beauty and simple elegance of nature. By enhancing the natural beauty of free-range deer and elk leathers, she hopes to express and share that inspiration through her work.

The hides she uses come from deer and elk that are legally hunted and used for their meat. Range marks, unique scars and other markings, are often included in her pieces as Amy feels they speak to the individual life experience and character of each animal. The teeth and worn pieces of tusk have been gathered from private Native territories in the Alaskan Tundra during the spring ice melt. They become colored as minerals in the ice seep in over many hundreds of years. The handbag straps are corded, an ancient spiral braiding technique noted for its combination of strength and beauty. Each pouch is lovingly branded with my logo.

Everyone enjoys her Treasure Pouches and Purses - Each one is unique in the color combinations and clasps. They are a fun way to carry your treasures with a convenient drawstring design that allows you to expand to add more treasures!


Her handbags are simple with a hand-stitched flower on the front. There is a hidden closure under the flap for added security. If you are just going out for a night on town or if you are one of those ladies who like to keep things simple -these handbags are perfect for you!
