Caption: Hi, I'm Carlee!
I'm the girl behind Little Pine Outfitters -- single-handedly creating all of your goodies from my little studio in Oregon!
All items you see on my website and on Etsy are handcrafted by me. That's right, I used my two hands! And I take a huge amount of pride in that.
Picture
Caption: I learned how to knit back in 2009, and it's all been downhill from there...
(Juniper slouch in Crow)
Picture
Caption: It all started with knits; which included a lot of trial and error. Along with blood, sweat, and tears (which still happens on occasion).
Etsy was the first platform where I began selling the things I made, and it branched into a website as well in 2015.
Picture
Caption: Before all the moccs and bonnets, slouch hats and flowy scarves were my thing.
(and still are!)

Picture
Caption: SUMMIT slouch
Picture
Caption: And then I realized -- babies need knits, too!
Picture
Caption: So baby bonnets soon joined the line-up!
Picture
Picture
Caption: And then came baby moccasins! I had always been intrigued with small leather moccasins and their benefits for babies versus hard-soled shoes, and wanted to create designs that were unique and one-of-a-kind.
Picture
Caption: But don't let their cuteness fool you - there are many sleepless nights and a whole mess of bad words involved in their creation.
Picture
Caption: The best part... I wanted to use toxin and chrome-free leather. Only high-quality vegetable-tanned leather is used, and LPO is one of the few moccasin makers that uses this amazing leather.
Picture
Caption: So there you have it, a {very} brief overview of my history with Little Pine Outfitters!
What am I doing when I'm not working?

Caption: Spending time with this guy.
(Husband -- the one with all the crazy ideas...)
Picture
Caption: And this guy.
