Glad & Young is a design studio producing fun-loving leather goods that are dreamed up and created by hand in their Atlanta, Georgia studio. Since 2015 they have set out to make bags and accessories that are daring, colorful, and full of personality. The world of leathercraft leans utilitarian and masculine, and they inherently break that mold.

Built on the hopes of a seamstress and a graphic designer, Glad and Young is the brainchild of Erica Tankesley and Anna Zietz. Inspired by their travels, love of color and desire to create, their leather goods have become a staple of the Southeast. Their best-selling fanny pack has a cool girl cult-following, with mentions in W Mag, InStyle, Refinery29, Atlanta Magazine and more. Their flagship retail store is at Ponce City Market in Atlanta, where they (alongside their small team) charm locals and tourists alike with their sunny brand and high quality products, giving onlookers a peek into their process daily.

Their goal is to create items that are exciting to own and as interesting as the person who carries them.
