Meet the founder
At the heart of Syd Lynn: A Grife is Sydney Groom, a western-fashion creative with a passion for honoring the heritage of the American West in everyday life. For Sydney, cowhide isn’t just a material — it’s a story, a tradition, and a connection to the women who came before us.
She believes that just like a good cowboy hat shields a cowboy from the harsh sun and carries water to a horse in need, a woman’s bag carries her identity but also serves as a trusted companion — a piece of her story that stands the test of time.
Every Syd Lynn piece is handcrafted from 100% genuine cowhide, built for cowgirls who value strength, individuality, and timeless style. With every stitch, Sydney’s mission is to bridge the rugged soul of the West with the refinement of modern luxury — creating bags that are as functional as they are iconic, meant to be carried through every chapter of a cowgirl’s journey.

About our company
At Syd Lynn: A Grife, we saw a gap in the world of luxury goods — a space where true quality and authenticity were fading, replaced by mass production and inflated labels. Every year, genuine leather and animal hides — natural, durable materials that carry history in every line and texture — are discarded or left unused because the market has priced true craftsmanship out of reach.
We believe in honoring these materials by transforming them into timeless pieces, made with intention and care. Each bag is 100% handmade, stitched with precision and designed to last for generations. No two hides are the same, making every piece a one-of-a-kind work of art — a story of heritage, quality, and individuality.
