Leather Zipper Tote Handbag
A thick leather tote with custom designs. A delicate fairy overlooks a Celtics style tree of life from her perch on the crescent moon. They are branded onto the leather and hand painted. The tote is antiqued, waxed and sealed to keep it weather resistant and durable. Zipper closure on the top and inside zipper pockets allow this tote to act as a handbag.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
At Saxon leather art I do things the old fashioned way. I make every item by hand. There are zero machines in my shop. I hand tool, hand stitch, hand paint and dye anything I make. It's a time consuming process.
I'm always working on new designs and new concepts, and trying to push the boundaries of what's possible in leather craft.

For Checking in on project.2.7While he tried the boots didn’t fit correctly, color wasn’t orange like the shade chosen but pink. Overall boot quality isn’t great. Have them away as I wouldn’t wear due to problems with boot.

For Coat Of Arms / Family Crest Leather Holster5.0This year my husband and I will be celebrating our third anniversary (the "leather" anniversary), so I wanted to get the perfect gift custom made for him. I struggled with many different local businesses who specialize in leatherwork, before finally turning to the CustomMade website. Kathleen had very good reviews and I liked a lot of the artwork I saw so I sent her a message with my idea. Kathleen responded immediately, was very enthusiastic about the project, was very helpful with her own artistic input (which I desperately needed!), gave me a very fair price for what I wanted, and communicated with me throughout the entire process. From initial contact to the moment I received the package was probably 3 weeks total, which is amazing when you consider the painstakingly beautiful craftsmanship she put into the product. I was absolutely satisfied with the final product and would 100% recommend this artist to others.

For A book5.0Kathleen is a true professional, an artist and an absolute joy to work with. My book has a beautiful leather cover and amazing artwork that she made real from my word salad of ideas. Most importantly, she is communicative and asked clarifying questions so that she fully captured my vision, even bringing up concepts that I had not considered. I felt that she herself was invested in the project. She also had a great deal of patience and understanding. I did not feel rushed to make design decisions that I wasn't ready for. I can't recommend Kathleen enough and will definitely seek her out in the future.

For Checkbook Wallet Horse Hide, French Calf And Goatskin5.0Kathleen is an amazing artist! She created the perfect gift for my big burly lumberjack fiancé...it's masculine, yet refined, mesquite wood grain wallet with a stag carved in the wood on the back of the wallet and my fiancé's name on the front corner. She also used a shotgun snap and included a pocket to hold his business cards on the inside. Kathleen is an absolute pleasure to work with; she listened intently, asked clarifying questions and completely captured my vision for this project with her incredible talent. I highly recommend Kathleen and will definitely request her services again. Thank you Kathleen! You da best!

For High School Belt5.0Again it was a pleasure working with Kathleen. She brought back to life a sentimental old belt so I can once again wear and enjoy it. Both belt projects I have done with here turned out great, they are a pleasure to wear and hold great for being tension type belts. We also kind of added a wristband into the project and it turned out cool. I highly recommend her.
