From Wood to Wardrobe: Timber Tote’s Inspiring Story with Chelsea Alder and Jason Robinson

Join us on an exciting journey as we explore the creation of Timber Tote, a unique wooden purse that is taking Tucson by storm. Fashion designer Chelsea Alder and woodworker Jason Robinson share their inspiring collaboration story that began in the heart of Tucson’s Proper Shops. Discover how their combined talents and innovative techniques brought Timber Tote to life, creating a product that is both functional and artistic. As Chelsea describes, “Timber Tote is a purse made out of wood. It’s stadium sized, so it’s a little five by seven purse made from one continuous piece that wraps all the way around.”

Innovative Design: The Magic Behind Timber Tote

Timber Tote is a masterpiece of craftsmanship and creativity. Learn about the innovative laser cutting technique that allows wood to bend and form the stylish Timber Tote. “Jason found a cutting technique with the laser where it cuts these little grooves into the wood and it allows the wood to bend,” Chelsea explains, showcasing their innovative approach. Their process of adhering fabric to wood adds a unique touch, making each purse a one-of-a-kind piece. Jason’s enthusiasm is evident: “We can now do pinks and purples and hot pink… and now we’re doing glow in the dark.” Their journey from concept to creation is a testament to the power of collaboration and innovation.

Chelsea Alder: From Boutique to Bestseller

Follow Chelsea Alder’s remarkable journey from owning Willow’s Bizarre Boutique to partnering with Scarlett from Desert Mariposa Boutique. Chelsea’s entrepreneurial spirit and dedication have led to the creation of Timber Tote, a product that blends her fashion expertise with Jason’s woodworking skills. Reflecting on her experience, Chelsea says, “Since then I have partnered up with Scarlett from Desert Mariposa Boutique and now she kind of absorbed Willow’s Bazaar so now we’re working together in our own boutique together.” Her story is a shining example of how creativity and perseverance can lead to incredible success.

Jason Robinson: Turning Passion into a Business

Woodworker Jason Robinson transformed his pandemic hobby into a thriving business. With a background in finance and a passion for woodworking, Jason’s innovative designs and dedication have made Timber Tote a popular product in Tucson and beyond. Jason recalls, “We were in COVID and the boys were 14 and 11 at the time. They were old enough to not bother Mariel and I when we were working but they were too old to just not do nothing. So I said well let’s go ahead and go into the workshop.” His story of resilience and adaptability during challenging times is truly inspiring.

Good morning. It’s a beautiful Sunday in the Old Pueblo and you’re listening to KTDT Tucson. Thank you for spending a part of your brunch hour with us on your downtown Tucson community -sponsored all -volunteer powered rock -and -roll radio station This week we’re gonna speak with two talented entrepreneurs who combine their Unique skills to create something called the timber tote. It’s a wooden purse and it’s pretty darn cool If you ask me it was created by Jason who is a woodworker and Chelsea who is a clothing designer We’re going to find out how they came together and how this creation came to be. Today is June 9th, 2024. My name is Tom Heath and you’re listening to Life Along the Streetcar. Each and every Sunday our focus is on social, cultural and economic impacts in Tucson’s urban core and we shed light on hidden gems everyone should know about. From A Mountain to the University of Arizona and all stops in between, you get the Inside track right here on 99 .1 FM streaming on downtownradio

We also have our website lifealongstreetcar .org with more information about us, the book that we have, and past shows as well. And don’t forget the podcast out there in podcast world is available many, many different platforms. I did something out of downtown last week, which was kind of fun. I went to see a big screen movie of a big screen version of the Muppet movie. It was really fun to see that after all these years. I don’t know if I ever actually saw it in the theater came out when I was pretty young. But the the experience of singing on the big screen was was was really fun. I enjoyed the movie. I’ve always enjoyed the Muppet movie, but this was a little bit more entertaining. And I think it was because of the crowd dynamic and, and, and having that larger view of it in front of me. And that kind

Tom Heath

of got me thinking about other cool movies. And I found that the Fox Theater is going to be doing some of these movies throughout June and July, they actually have the Muppets take Manhattan come in later in July. And then there is Who Framed Roger Rabbit, this is Spinal Tap, Wizard of Oz, all kinds of these older movies that I haven’t seen on the big screen in a while. And there’s a few sing -alongs in there as well. So if you want more information on that, head over to fox2sun .com for those details. But I can tell you from personal experience, seeing it on the big screen was a pleasant experience compared to watching it on that little teeny tiny TV in the house there. Well, speaking of good experiences, we’re going to share with you these common experience of Jason and Chelsea. These two were proper shop owners. Well, they weren’t in the owners of proper shops, but they had shops within the proper shops. and Jason Robinson is a woodworker. Chelsea Adler, who has been on the show before,

Tom Heath

is a clothing designer, among other things. And they got together through this creativity of collaboration and came up with a product that has been really popular in Tucson and starting to get more and more traction, and it could be one of those things that you see take hold and will have its own brand pretty soon. called the Timber Tote and it started here in downtown Tucson with the collaboration of a unlikely duo and we wanted to sit down with them so we went back to the Tucson Gallery Studios there in Congress and we met with Jason and Chelsea to find out about how this came to be and what we can expect to see from them in the future. Welcome back to Life Along the Streetcar. We’ve got a returning guest, Chelsea, and a brand new person, Jason, here to talk about some kind of crazy collaboration that’s happening. And let me make sure I get this right, it’s Jason Timber and Chelsea Tote, right? Is that how we came up? That’s how we came up with the name? The name Timber Tote? It’s even

Tom Heath

a better story that hopefully we get into. So first of all, Chelsea, we’ve heard your background from your clothing days, but can you tell us just briefly about kind of what you’ve been up to lately?

Chelsea Adler

Yeah, so last time I was here, I had Willow’s Bizarre Boutique, and I was designing clothing and I had my store here in Proper Shops. Since then I have partnered up with Scarlett from Desert Mariposa Boutique and now she kind of absorbed Willow’s Bazaar so now we’re working together in our own boutique together and partnered up with Jason here to create Timber Tote and I

Tom Heath

published my book. Oh yeah, and I published my book. She kind of slid that in at the last minute, right? So a brick -and -mortar store, a brand new product line, finished a book, been traveling all over the state from what I can tell, plowing your products. And my son turned four. And we have a four -year -old in the house. So Jason, top that. What’s

Chelsea Adler

going on with you? Yes, so still have the store down here, spun off the timber totes and my oldest just graduated high school.

Tom Heath

All right. So do you, no book? It’s in the works. It’s kind of a question mark. It’s a little awkward. I mean, I’ve written a book and you’ve written a book.

Tom Heath

That’s all right.

Chelsea Adler

You know what he does do is he makes book holders.

Tom Heath

He does certainly bring a certain level of artistic creativity to this, to the proper shops. But what is your day job as a, you’re a woodworker for fun, but your day job, you’re in finance, right?

Chelsea Adler

I’d say, yeah, so on the financial planning side, I call that my nine -to -five job, and then the woodworking is my five -to -nine job.

Tom Heath

And how did you get into woodworking to begin with?

Jason Robinson

It was really a lifetime hobby that turned business coming out of COVID. So we were in COVID, and the boys were 14 and 11 at the time. They were old enough to not bother Mariel and I when we were working, but they were too old to just not do nothing. So I said, well, let’s go ahead and go into the workshop. And we started building some chairs and some end tables and then created a little product. Uh, this would have been November of 2020. A lot of people loved it on social media. I did a little, little, little laser engraving for these little pairing trays. So it was a coaster and an ashtray, uh, put it up on Etsy and we sold 2000 of them in 2021.

Tom Heath

So that’s what really launched the company. And do you like, was your family in woodworking? Like, how do you, how do you just wake up and say, let’s go make some chairs.

Jason Robinson

Yeah. My dad was, that’s a thing though. Yeah. My dad was a blue collar worker, so I grew up, uh, just in the trades and just always saw projects. So I always loved building stuff and would just always kind of appeal. Okay.

Tom Heath

And how, how’s the family, are they still involved?

Jason Robinson

So the boys still sometimes, uh, Avery’s going to be an engineer. So he’s really kind of going that route. Um, Blake’s getting a little more into it, But yeah, they’ll do sometimes work. Their main job is school for us right now. But now that we’re in summer, we’ll get them in the shop.

Tom Heath

And so this became your kind of full -time hobby job.

Jason Robinson

Yeah, at this point, I don’t say it’s even a hobby. This is really a business, and so I just run multiple businesses at this point.

Tom Heath

And the two of you met through Proper Shops, right? That’s right, yes. You hadn’t met each other prior to that?

Chelsea Adler

No, no.

Tom Heath

And if you’re not familiar, definitely check out the proper shop, some of the episodes we’ve covered, a collective of local retailers in downtown, and it’s designed to be an incubator, so like Chelsea, you’re like the perfect example of someone that comes in, tests out their product, and realizes, I’m too big for this place, and you move on. But no, that’s what it’s designed to be.

Chelsea Adler

It is, it’s a really good like lily pad, I think, for a small business. It’s a good starting point, and I think some business models in here are perfect for the environment, like the gallery and Jenny’s tattoo shop. But for a lot of businesses, I think it’s a really great leaping off point into getting into the next thing. And that’s exactly what it did for me.

Tom Heath

And you met the team at Desert Mariposa through here. And you met Jason and Jenny, who’s involved with several of your projects.

Chelsea Adler

Yeah, Jenny does some of the artwork on our timber totes. And she also did the cover of my book.

Tom Heath

Okay, so well, let’s let’s get into a timber tote because this is an interesting concept and they can’t who came to whom with this idea and first of all, what is a timber tote? And then how did we get this thing launched? Or how did how did it get started?

Chelsea Adler

So timber tote is a purse made out of wood. It’s stadium sized. So it’s a little five by seven purse and it’s made out of wood and it’s made from one continuous piece that wraps all the way around. Jason found a cutting technique with the laser where it cuts these little grooves into the wood and it allows the wood to bend. So we’re able to create a rounded shape purse completely out of wood. And he came to me first.

Jason Robinson

I’m a collaborator. I just love that. So during the summer months, my mind sitting idle is not a good thing. So I was doing some collaborations with someone else that was in here. So I was like, Chelsea, hey, we should be able to come up with something fun. So I was like, Hey, there’s this technique. What if we did like a purse? She was like, well, first I was like, I make clothes like you can’t wear wood. And he said, bet challenge accepted. So I made like a prototype and…

Chelsea Adler

and, uh, it’s taken some trial and error, um, a few, uh, hoops to jump through. We might have accidentally poisoned ourselves a little bit in the beginning using the laser. Yeah, you’re not supposed to cut vinyl with a laser.

Tom Heath

Oh, so like all these gases are coming out like that? Yeah, so we learned that one the hard way. So that’s where the timber totes came from. I have an idea.

Chelsea Adler

But that led to kind of toying with this process of adhering actual fabric to the inside of the wood, which I have now pretty much perfected, I think. It’s a process that we’re actually trying to get patented.

Tom Heath

Wow.

Chelsea Adler

So that will be a really big step and a game changer if we’re able to do that.

Tom Heath

Yeah, and I’m assuming it’s removed the health risks

Chelsea Adler

from the suit.

Speaker 2

Yeah,

Chelsea Adler

yeah, I made triple sure there were no health

Speaker 2

risks.

Chelsea Adler

We’re not gonna patent a,

Tom Heath

this is a surefire way to kill clothing makers.

Chelsea Adler

Yeah, yeah.

Tom Heath

And then the evolution, because now the two of you got together, but I see there’s designs on these that are done by Jenny, and I think you have one with Ignacio, right?

Chelsea Adler

That’s right. Yes, we do.

Tom Heath

Yeah. So your, so the collaborations just keep going.

Chelsea Adler

Yeah. It’s, uh, what started with Jenny, um, being able to engrave on the wood, you know, we gave her the dimensions of the piece and she created specific images that fit right on it, onto it. We were able to engrave that. And then with Ignacio, um, we had the opportunity to print on fabric and, uh, Ignacio was more than willing to let us use some of his artwork. So, um, and that has been so awesome.

Jason Robinson

Like, well, the game changer on that was, could we print our own fabric? That was really what we were striving for. And so he said, well, use mine and see if you can make it work. Now that we’ve been successful at printing images on fabric, now it just opens up the world to other artists, not just him, but if someone comes to us with a picture of their family or their dogs or something, we can build a whole purse around that.

Tom Heath

Wow, so initially then you’re just using fabric that you purchased and would adhere and sew into the purse. and now you’re printing your own fabric. Are you growing your own trees for this wood? Are you there yet?

Jason Robinson

No, we’ve tried actually going that way and it was a fail, so, but, you know, sticking with the wood for a second, but we can stain it, all of the traditional wood stains, but we also found this unicorn spit. It’s a water -based, vibrant color stain, though. So now we can do pinks and purples and – Hot pink. Hot pink, I’m sorry. Turquoise. You know? Bright green. You can tell who’s the designer of the group. Right. She gave me this one with glitter and I was like, whatever. What do I always say? Yeah. OK. We did the glitter. We mastered the glitter. And now we’re doing glow in the dark. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So here’s what’s really classic is. And this is why it works so well. She because she’s the designer and I just really am the woodworker guy. So I came across this one and there’s a an acrylic paint that goes on and it dries clear. But when you hit it with UV, it glows. So we’re using it in the woodworking world. So I was like, hey, Chelsea, what do you think about one of these? And she’s

Chelsea Adler

like, yes, please. So now we’re down this world of like making like, I don’t know, something that for clubbing, you know?

Tom Heath

That is Jason Robinson. He is the owner of Sports Class Customs, and he’s joined there by Chelsea Adler, who owns Willow’s Bazaar Boutique. She’s been on the show before talking about her past. And if you want to learn more, you can just put in Chelsea in our search bar on the Lifelong Streetcar page, but we’ll be back to this interview with Jason and Chelsea talking about their newest creation called the Timber Tote. And I can tell you right after the break, one of these two actually gets a surprise about this product they didn’t even know was coming yet. So we’re breaking some news here in Lifelong Streetcar. My name is Tom Heath. You are listening to Lifelong Streetcar and Downtown Radio at 99 .1 FM and it’s streaming on downtownradio .org.

Tom Heath

And speaking of that Tucson Gallery, that was the studio space that we used to record this interview. And if you’re just joining us, we have Jason from Sports Class Customs and Chelsea from Willow Bazaar Boutique. She is a clothing designer, he is a woodworker, and they came up with this concept to create a wooden purse. It’s called a timber tote, doing quite well here in the Tucson area. And we’ve kind of got a little bit about their history and origin. We’ll find out much more about where this project is going. And in fact, we had a little surprise for Chelsea, something she learned about her own product that she didn’t know. So that’s why I have to pay attention to these shows here.

Jason Robinson

And then I didn’t tell you this, but we can actually make like stencils out of like vinyl, put that on it, paint. And then when we remove the sticker, now you’ll have designs. Oh, it’s like an invisible picture. Oh my God.

Tom Heath

Breaking news here. One of the co -owners and designers was just found, found out some information. This is, this is why you listen to this show. All the good stuff. See mom, I told you. Keep listening. Then this collaboration, when you got together, was this something you immediately said, Hey, we’ve got something here or is it just like, Hey, it’ll be fun. Let’s just kind of play around or cause this has really taken hold as a, as a business.

Chelsea Adler

I don’t I don’t think either one of us expected it to become what it has It was definitely just something that we were kind of killing time It was a little slow during the summer as it is here And we were just kind of killing time just seeing what we could come up with and then knowledge. It’s just like Snowballed and people loved it the reactions people get from it They like touch it and then they knock on it and then they smell it and they like oh shoot This is like real wood. Yeah, it’s such a cool thing to see and And it’s such a consistent reaction, people love it. And then getting further into it and doing more research about not just the purse industry specifically but this particular kind of product, it’s such an interesting history. And to be in a position where we have the potential to truly bring something back that hasn’t existed for decades and do it in an innovative way and modernize it is like a really exciting opportunity as a designer. I speak for myself, but like…

Tom Heath

Well, I know when we spoke about your clothing designs, that sort of sense of history and technique came through in what you were trying to do and how proud you were of some of the very first fabrics you had. And you found a new fabric and you made a dress from it and you’re like, oh my gosh, so you’ve always been connected to that. I think as someone who observes from a distance, people looking at these products, there’s a sense of familiarity at first. Like, oh, that’s a purse. And then they get a little closer and like, wait a minute, that’s a little bit different. And like, now it’s, is it, what is this? And then you explain it and I think you’re right. Everyone then gets this sense of, oh my gosh, how did you do that? And I’m excited to see where you go with this. But you’re, this is not like breaking news. Like the Lifelong Streetcar is not announcing you to the world. You’ve been on lots of different platforms. You just did a pitch competition too, right?

Jason Robinson

Sure. Yes, well, I think Local First Arizona and actually did an article about us first. And so that was a lot of fun to be able to get that out, and they were excited about that. Yeah, so then I caught, so my burning desire is to be on actual Shark Tank. And so I was like, hey, Chelsea, we gotta do

Speaker 2

this. He

Jason Robinson

said it from the beginning. And she’s like, oh my God, this guy’s crazy right over. And so I found Moonshot is a 501C3 in Arizona that does these tours. They go around, and it’s like a Shark Tank style event for competition. And so we applied, and we were accepted to compete. And out of like 19 really I think pitches we made the finals and then we ended up third place really out of the 19 And we were given a scholarship towards their mentoring program

Tom Heath

Fantastic. So other people are starting to recognize the value. It’s not just the consumers

Chelsea Adler

Yeah, and actually two of the judges actually bought purses

Tom Heath

That’s Fantastic. Where do people like is it through one of your websites? Does Timbertoads have its own brand as a website?

Chelsea Adler

How do people get more? It has its own website. Um, timber tote purse .com. It also has its own Instagram. Same name. Timber tote purse. It also has a Facebook page. Yeah. I run that one. She’s like, I’m Jason. Jason does the Facebook page. I don’t handle the Instagram. She also is like Facebook.

Tom Heath

My dad talked about Facebook at one point. It’s got more followers. Anyway, timber tote purse. So are there, is, is there other versions coming out?

Chelsea Adler

Well, no, we do have other products that we’re working on. We just, uh, I think we’ve perfected the sunglass case.

Tom Heath

Okay.

Chelsea Adler

Um, so we’ve got that coming out and then, uh, we’re working on a, um, like a card organizer. So it’ll be like kind of like a long slender piece that will have, um, slots for your cards and your cash that will sit inside the purse. And then, um, Jason also designed a folding like money clip style wallet as well.

Tom Heath

Oh, fantastic. And this is all coming from the Timber Tote model brand.

Jason Robinson

So and we’re trying to keep this thing, I think the same theme where it’s got the wood, but it’s also got the fabrics that are adhered to it as well. So we’re trying to still stay close to that because that’s really what makes us uniquely different. Right.

Tom Heath

Well, I’m excited that’s opened up into like a sunglass case because now I can participate. Yeah. Yes. I have admired the Timber Tote, but just couldn’t find a reason to do that, although I think you came up with one that holds chips for the casino, didn’t you?

Jason Robinson

So that was a woodworking contest. Yeah, so the theme was in the, it was called Game Night. So we designed a briefcase that held poker chips and then had a matching timber tote with it as well. But we did figure out that we can put a little tray along the top of the timber tote and it can hold poker chips like in a row of right along the top and golf balls.

Tom Heath

Yeah. Okay. All kinds of uses for these things. It’s one size right now. Is that what we’re going to see?

Chelsea Adler

I think, I don’t see it. I mean, you never know. It’s possible. I don’t, in the near future, I don’t see us making anything significantly bigger unless it’s specifically asked for.

Tom Heath

Dawn, we’ve just redesigned the entire woodworking and fabric world. Give us a break here, right? Is this all that you can do? Is that all you can do?

Jason Robinson

We’ve experimented going smaller, that really hasn’t worked. We’ve done one that’s larger that held a laptop. Yeah, we did a laptop case. I think where we’re at, though, is that we’re really starting to find favor in a bunch of wholesalers, so we’re already being held at a different location already, and then there’s another place that we’re talking to this next week, and so I think that’s a lot of our focus, too, is having different wholesale accounts, so a lot of being able to carry to other places, and I think where it’s really gonna be fun is we’re talking about making these exclusive timber totes that can only be sold out of that location. And that fits their style, and it gives them really a kind of fun where it’s like, we’ll still, you know, show it off on our website or our social media, and then say if you like it, you can only get it at this location. Right, and that’s what’s our favorite thing about this product is that it’s so customizable and adaptable to any niche, any industry,

Chelsea Adler

any location, wherever you are, whatever your interest is, I guarantee you there’s a fabric for it. And if there’s not, we’ll print it. And so like we could really make, like the sky is the limit with what we can make and what we can combine together. So being able to create exclusive lines for specific locations is really, really exciting and it feels really special. We’re running one line right now where we’ve collaborated with a nonprofit. And so it’s the Hermitage Cat Shelter. And so we have a cat liner on the inside and it’s got their logo engraved on it But all 20 % of the proceeds will actually go back to the organization itself So the collaborations that we can do even with nonprofits really is well one patent pending

Tom Heath

one patent pending one third place

Chelsea Adler

Regional shark tank we’ll call it. Yeah, we won third place in the woodworking contest. Yeah

Tom Heath

It’s Timber Tote Purse for more information. It’s an example of ingenuity here in Tucson, and I’m excited to be able to share a little bit of it with the world here. Appreciate you having us on.

Chelsea Adler

Yeah. Blast.

Tom Heath

I do like interviewing entrepreneurs. Well, I mean, truthfully, yes, I enjoy interviewing everybody, especially those that put something out into the world, artists, entrepreneurs, and such that take these risks. Then you get the chance to talk to people like Jason and Chelsea, who are just genuinely good people. And this collaboration comes about because of this idea called The Proper Shops. And we had Crystal Popoff on just after she came up with this idea to launch The Proper Shops. And you can see some of the ideas she talked about with collaboration, incubation, were seen in this interview as having actually come to fruition. So I love all of these little elements and how they come together to create an amazing Tucson story. And if you want any of that, head over to lifelongstreetcar .org. You can put it in the proper shops, you can put in Chelsea, Willow’s, Bazaar, and you can hear some of those past interviews as well. Well, my name is Tom Heath, and you are listening to Lifelong
