Leather Clutches
I create custom one of a kind pieces. Everything is made by hand from start to finish. Leather is chosen specific for the needs/requirements of the project. Pattern is drawn by hand and cut out with shears. Holes are punched and all is stitched and/or riveted by hand. The piece is then textured, stained or painted by hand depending on the requirements. This is a leather tote bag in the simplest form. It is made with burgundy waxed cow hide. The sides and bottom were hand stitched and the straps were riveted into place. Also shown are leather cuff bracelets which incorporate large natural stones. The leather clutches ($75-125) in the photos are made with sturdy shoulder hide. These particular pieces were made for a local store to match their new spring line of clothing. Smaller versions were painted in bright colors the larger were stained in neutrals. My, pieces are made to fit your lifestyle and body. I tend to be on the petite side so have had problems finding bags to suite my body size and needs.. so I started making them for myself! I tend to make things that look more artistic vs. sterile, machine made and packaged. You will not run into another person wearing/using an accessory you order from me. I will make an exception and make multiples of the same thing for events such as bridal/groom parties.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
The leather bags, jewelry and accessories are made by hand in Austin, Texas. Each is created highlighting the inherent beauty of the materials used. Leather pieces are cut, double -stitched with wax cord, dyed and sealed by hand, giving each one a very unique look and feel. They are made individually ensuring quality in craftsmanship. Designs are simple, structured and sturdy to hold up to everyday life.
Some pieces are intentionally distressed to add to their individual appearance. While the look is clean, minimal and understated, there is uniqueness in each that is an underlying component in all of my designs.
The look and feel of each item will only get better with time and use. As every piece is of a different leather, the color and weight may vary slightly from one piece to the next.
Every piece is produced in the Sabbatical Arts studio in Austin, TX. Contact me for Custom sizing and colors.
