Buying a wallet shouldn’t just feel good in your hand—it should feel good in your heart.
That’s why 5% of every Rouxco sale goes right back into our Maine community. Not into “marketing budgets” or “brand awareness campaigns”, but into real, boots-on-the-ground organizations making life better here at home.
The Why
I started Rouxco because I love making things that last. But the truth? I want this business to be about more than leather and stitching. If I’m lucky enough to have customers supporting me, then I want to use that support to help my neighbors, too.
And honestly—if I can run this brand out of my tiny workshop, I can definitely set aside 5% for the people doing the big, hard work.
Who We Support:
Maine Needs – These folks connect basic essentials—clothing, toiletries, household goods—with the Mainers who need them most. No red tape. No judgment. Just kindness on speed dial.
Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland – Matching pets with loving homes and helping furry friends get the care they deserve. (If you’ve ever met my workshop dog, you know I have a soft spot for this one.)
Safe Voices – Working to end domestic violence and provide safety, shelter, and advocacy for survivors across Maine.
The Math
When you buy a wallet, a key organizer, or anything else I make, part of that purchase is already earmarked for doing good.
It’s not an add-on. It’s built in. Just like the hand stitching on every wallet—small, intentional steps that hold everything together.
How You’re Part of This
If you’ve ever bought from Rouxco, you’ve helped fill a pantry, find a pet a home, or keep someone safe. You’ve done more than just shop—you’ve invested in community.
And that’s worth carrying every day.
