Portland has its fair share of bag and leather designers without even getting into the big names, so how do you know you're making a worthwhile contribution to the genre? One indication might be when you reach your $12,000 Kickstarter goal within 24 hours, like Justin Pyle's Jbird Collective did. Moreover, his fundraising window closes in a matter of hours, and as of this writing he's collected over $100,000. Head over to MOD to see what the big deal is.
