Horizonatal Cell Phone Case
Sometimes a regular cell phone case is just not what you need. Here is an example of one that is leather lined in suede and made to be worn horizontally on a belt. This happens to have hidden magnets, at the clients request, but more secure closures are available. As with most of our work we use very high quality Horween leather. It hand stitched for durability and aesthetics, the color can either match or contrast.

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 Hand Made Leather Top Hat5.0Rick 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 Glen's Wallet5.0It has been an absolute pleasure working with Blue Duck Creations on this wallet. They were in constant communication with me through the design and crafting of the wallet to make sure that i got exactly what I was looking for. The wallet is perfect and looks so good that I almost hate putting it to use. I highly recommend you consider Rick and Kathi for any leather projects that you are considering.

For Men’s bifold wallet5.0I loved working with Kathi and Rick at Blue Duck Creations. They created a beautiful leather wallet as a gift for my son. They included every detail I requested and kept me advised of their progress with e-mails and photos. Communication was great. The quality of the leather they chose was great and the workmanship was amazing. I needed to make a change to the design of the wallet and they made the change without hesitation. They completed the project in plenty of time for my deadline, even though I asked for a change in the design midway through their progress. I recommend using Blue Duck Creations and I will definitely be using them in the future.

For leather bifold wallet4.8Blue 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 Leather briefcase with padded laptop compartment4.8Blue Duck Creations made me my ideal leather briefcase! I was able to customize every aspect of the design, with plenty of guidance and advice from Rick along the way. When any of my design choices ended up not looking right or working well, Rick walked me through the options and redid any work to ensure the final product was perfect. I look forward to enjoying this bag for many years, and will definitely call on them again for any future projects.

For Tanner's iPad air case5.0Rick 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 Mens leather bracelet5.0I cannot believe how outstanding Rick and Kathi of Blue Duck Creations were when helping me get my vintage leather cuff, surprise gift right. I gave really rough sketchy photos of the original of how I wanted it to look, and I wasn’t expecting miracles, but Rick and Kathi delivered exactly that. The leather cuffs they made for me are amazing and the likeness to original was everything I wanted and more. They were extremely helpful throughout, giving me suggestions of different materials I could use and lots of different advice but all within keeping to my personal preferences. Their eye for detail is just amazing, the cuff was designed with such care and attention and the end result looks absolutely brilliant. I received great communication throughout the process, which gave me peace of mind and I knew I was being looked after at all times. They were very patient and allowed me to make changes even at short notice. The price was great for all the work involved, and the wonderful customer service I received. I am so lucky to have found Rick and Kathi and I cannot thank you enough for all of your hard work, and for especially making this gift perfect in every way. I couldn’t have wished for more. I highly recommend these lovely people to fulfil your work, these are two skilled leather workers with hearts of gold and I will definitely use them again SOON! Kindest regards and gratitude James
