Specialties

I specialize in uniquely different custom leather goods. The majority of my products are custom made from the imaginations of my clients. I also put together some of my inventory from different ideas that pop into my head. Some of my products are: handbags, suit jacket and dollar bill wallets, cuff bracelets, belts, earrings, necklaces, guitar straps, fetish gear, and I do a variety of stuff for your pets, such as: collars, leashes, and harnesses. The majority of my wears are made out of leather, to include: hair on hide, exotic skins, chap hides, and latigo hides. I do use some mixes of upholsttry, canvas, and vinyl to make products for those that are not friendly to leather. All my products are hand-​made and American made. I’m affortable, if you are looking for a leather product that will last you a lifetime!!!

History

Established in 2011.

My business trully began in 2000, after returning home from serving overseas in Italy. I was Honorbly discharged in Jan. of 2000 and wasn’t quite sure what I really wanted to do for work, but I was really inspiried to start making accessories. I took the experience from being overseas and my artistic ability and started a hobby. So with all the tools, creativeness, and repurposed material at my disposal, I decided to start making purses. I continued this for a few years, which during those years I developed a good sense of style and fabrication. By, 2004, I started to work with leather. My first several pieces were made for and inspiried by some of my friends that work the Renaissance Fair circuit, mainly King Richards Faire, Carver, MA. I continued the hobby thru out the years, making a variety of uniquely different leather goods from purses to handbags, suit jacket dollar bill wallets to guitar straps and cuff braceletts to earrings. Today, I’m a business owner of my hobby.
