Boulder Opal leather hand bag
This specific bag took me almost a full 10 days to finish and I LOVE it. This bag is fully textured and tattooed in a way that makes it both flashy and matte at the same time. The boulder texture is put in with a tattoo needle and the flash is hand tooled and colored with a special finish. It’s made from full grain leather and fully lined in European royal blue calfskin. It’s 8 inches tall 9 inches wide and 4 inches deep and has magnetic snaps built-in at the base of the handles. Though she looks really fancy she’s pretty durable. No need to panic when it starts to rain and the tattooed leather really holds up to every day use. This bag will come with a dust jacket for storage as well as instructions on how to care for it and products that are all right to use with it. This is truly a one of one.

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 Carol's Handbag5.0It's hard to put into words how fantastic my custom purse is! Every single facet of the purse, from the design to the finished product, was truly effortless on my part. Kathleen was so very helpful with suggestions and was so easy to work with. She was communicative during the entire process and was very generous with her time. I would highly recommend her without hesitation. I have an absolutely beautiful purse that I have already received multiple compliments on. If you are looking for high quality work, Kathleen is definitely your 'go to' person.

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.
