Samantha & Matt Nicoletti - Owners of Big Fish Designs

About Big Fish Designs

We create handcrafted goods that blend quality, function, and meaning. Founded by Matt and Samantha Nicoletti, our shop brings together two passions: minimalist leather craftsmanship and beautifully curated candles, all made with intention and care.

Matt’s Craft: Leather Goods with Character

Matt designs and handcrafts unique, minimalist leather wallets with a signature touch. Each wallet is laser-cut, hand-stitched, and made to last. His love for fishing lives on through the trout logo cutout featured inside many of the wallet pockets. It's a subtle nod to his roots and a symbol of Big Fish Designs.

Beyond wallets, Matt also creates handcrafted leather bags, keychains, and earrings. Many earrings are made using the leftover trout cutouts from the wallets. Nothing goes to waste, and every piece tells a story.

Samantha’s Craft: Candle Design with Purpose

Samantha has loved candles for as long as she can remember. Their scent always brought comfort and a sense of home. With Big Fish Designs candles, she brings that passion to life by curating unique fragrances paired with vessels that are just as special as the scent itself. Each candle is designed to elevate your space and offer something truly one of a kind.

All of our candles are hand-poured using all-natural soy wax, cotton wicks, and premium fragrance oils. Every fragrance is phthalate-free, RIFM compliant, and IFRA compliant, making them a clean and safe choice for your home.

Our Promise

Whether it's a leather wallet or a small-batch candle, every product is made with thought, purpose, and craftsmanship. We believe in creating beautiful, useful pieces that make your space or your pocket feel just a little more special.
