Leather Friesian Western Horse Tote
This is an example of art on leather. The front panel is hand tooled and painted and the back and bottom panels are made from a charcoal pull up leather. The entire tote is lined in aniline leather and it's hand stitched and finished. This tote is certainly an eyecatcher. And measures 17" wide and 14" tall

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
Making things inspired by the elements. Art, stones, gems, wood. fire , water, and nature.
All of my creations are meant to be one of a kind items. They are uniquely conceptualized and designed. If you see an texture or color or effect that inspires you, it may be possible to do the same technique or color or effect on a different item that I make. For instance perhaps you like the texture of a handbag and you love it on a journal cover in a different color. If that’s the case please reach out for a quote. For many of these items it’s not really possible for me to make again in the same way. But if you see something you like I might have some thing similar that I can do.
I use many techniques to create these effects including but not limited to hand tooling, stamping, tattooing and specific dye processes. I use a variety of leathers in my craft including veg tanned leather’s, chrome tanned leather and exotic leather. Exotic leather varies wildly depending on quality grade and size. I may have to talk to the tanneries for available supplies before giving you a quote on a custom item. If you have any questions please reach out. I currently only ship to the US by USPS or UPS signature required.

For Simple custom wallet2.2Kate was nice to work with but unfortunately I'm very unhappy with the finished product. It is much larger than I had requested and quite frankly a bit sloppy. I had requested a small simple wallet/ more along the lines of a credit card holder. The leather used was of very nice quality but the lines aren't straight for the pockets and it just looks like a lack of attention to the simplest details. Furthermore the price I paid in comparison to the quality of the finished product is very disappointing. I can not give this as a gift that it was intended to be. I am now out a good bit of money and a gift…..

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.
