Meet Trachelle.
Registered nurse. Rancher. Maker. And the heart behind every hand-burned piece that leaves this ranch.
Three lives, one calling.
Trachelle Rodgers wears a lot of hats — sometimes literally a suede one she burned herself. She's a registered nurse, a working rancher outside China Spring, Texas, and the founder and sole artisan behind The Ranchy RN.
The Ranchy RN grew out of a simple truth: Trachelle has always made things with her hands. Growing up in Texas, surrounded by ranch life and a faith community that valued hard work and generosity, she learned early that the best things in life are the ones you put your whole self into.
"I started burning designs because I wanted to make something that felt like home — like the land, like the faith, like the people I love. I never expected it to become a business. But here we are."
She works with real suede — totes, caps, journals — burning every design by hand with a pyrography tool. Florals, Bible verses, custom requests, geometric patterns. Each piece takes time, intention, and a steady hand. No two are exactly alike.
Her Twillies and horsebit chains bring a touch of equestrian elegance to western style — the kind of accessory that works as well at a ranch gate as it does at a dinner table.
China Spring, Texas.
China Spring is a small community just west of Waco, Texas — the kind of place where neighbors wave, the land is wide open, and the sunsets are worth stopping for. Trachelle's ranch sits in the heart of it, surrounded by live oaks, cedar, and Texas sky.
Every piece she makes carries a little bit of that place. The earthy tones of the suede, the organic curves of the burned florals, the scripture that grounds her work — it all comes from the same soil. When you hold a Ranchy RN piece, you're holding a little piece of Texas.
Every purchase plants a seed.
Children's Camp Scholarship Fund
A percentage of every Ranchy RN purchase is donated to the children's camp scholarship fund at Trachelle's church. This fund helps kids who might not otherwise be able to afford camp — giving them a week of outdoor adventure, community, and faith that can change the trajectory of a life.
Trachelle knows firsthand what camp can mean to a child. It's where friendships are forged, where faith gets real, where kids discover who they are away from screens and schedules. She's committed to making sure every child who wants to go has the chance.
"When I sell a tote, I'm not just selling a bag. I'm sending a kid to camp. That matters more than anything I could put on a price tag."
