This portolio was made to order and holds a large tablet on the left flap as well as a large slip pocket. The center or right side holds a MacAir with a pocket for pens/cables/charges above. This was made with a flap to close the folio. A custom touch requested by the client was the leather football lacing on the spine. Made of leather with inserts to make it very structured and protective of the computer. It is all hand-stitched with waxed braided thread. These can be made in many configurations to hold just about anything. Just let us know your requirements.

Blue Duck Creations are makers of designer handbags, totes, bags and cases for any need. We can create a unique bag just for you using our materials or yours. We enjoy the collaborative process it takes to create exactly what you desire. We mainly use leather for exteriors, but we can work with many types of materials. We can even take a leather jacket, or other object, that belonged to someone special and turn it into a stunning creation that will remind you of them with every use. ReLoving [our word for reusing, recycling, upcycling] items that you have been saving can make you love them in a totally new way. Having completed an intense designer handbag making course, leather working classes, along with 40+ years sewing experience, I am confident we can create the purse, bag, case, or other creation you have envisioned.
Blue Duck Creations also has a component called Duck Creek Custom Rod Builders. We have been making custom fishing rods for over 15 years. We design and build a fishing rod for fresh or salt-water fishing that will match the reel you have chosen. No matter if it is for casting, spinning, trolling, jigging, or fly fishing we can make a rod as fancy or as subtle as you wish.
Although you may think these two are very different, they have many of the same requirements. Most important to us though, is making a custom project with the utmost attention to detail that will thrill you every time it is used.

For Tanner's iPad air caseRick and Kathi at Blue Duck Creations did great work with my folio project. From start to finish, they understood what I describe and gave me a detailed diagram with plenty of option to make sure every detail was exactly how I wanted it. Throughout the building process, Rick kept me updated and gave even more ideas and possibilities for every last detail. By the end of the process, I was not able to decide on a couple of options without seeing things first hand. After talking with Rick, I felt he understood the style of things that I liked. I totally trusted him to make the final small detail decisions for me. Once receiving the folio, I found that Rivk had made all of the same choices I would have on the finishing details. The final payment and shipping process was a little hectic, on their side, from what I understand. But the problems seemed to come from the website and some of its technical difficulties. Once that was worked out. I received my new handmade folio in just a couple short days. I would definitely recommend Blue Duck Creations to anyone wanting premier leather work.

For leather bifold walletBlue Duck Creations has been a pleasure to do business with. They were prompt in every interaction response. They were kind, respectful, friendly and very accommodating.
They clearly believe in the philosophy of measuring twice and cutting once. They assured that they were making exactly what I wanted in the leather wallet by creating a drawing, checking sizes, sending photographs and keeping me in the loop every step of the way.
The leather used on the wallet was a soft, very nice quality leather that I'm sure will last for many years.
I look forward to giving it to my husband for Christmas and know that he will be just as thrilled as I am with this handcrafted product.
Thanks for a great experience and lovely product.

For Hand Made Leather Top HatRick and Kathi at Blue Duck Creations are THE BEST ! I was looking for someone to try and duplicate a very particular leather tophat from a picture I had found. I don't think they could have possibly done it any better. It was absolutely perfect and Rick was very methodical and involved in the process from start to finish. If he had any questions about what I wanted he would ask before proceeding. He didn't just assume. He was extremely pleasant to work with as well. I would highly recommend Blue Duck Creations to anyone. So if you have a project that needs a custom attention, look them up. You WON'T be disappointed.

For chess boardIt was a pleasure working with Blue Duck Creations! We were looking for a custom chess board that utilized Columbia University and NYU's school colors. They were consistently keeping us updated on how the project was going and went above and beyond our vision. Communication was excellent and the finished product was magnificent.
