This Alligator bag is made to order and requires two Alligator hides to complete. The hood must be a minimum of grade 2/3 to avoid major holes or scars in the belly region. The holo effect is applied by hand and takes a minimum of three days to complete. When ordering exotic leather please understand that what the tannery has in stock for size and grade will affect the base price. If the hides available are cheaper than what’s built into this quote then there will be a reduction and if they are higher then there will be an increase. Farm raised skins are more expensive than wild skins but wild skins have more scarring and defects. Please keep that in mind if you have a preference. The bag is 8“ x 9“ x 4“ deep and has magnetic snaps built into the handle to keep the top closed. The holo effect is very bright and sparkly in sunlight but can look silver or gray and other lighting’s. Alligator cannot be shipped to any other country except within the US.
Please also note that different size alligators will show different features on the front of the bag. The flank might be more visible, The tile might need to be used for the handles, But we always aim to have the belly on the front and the back as that’s the most valued part of the Alligator..
Elemental Leather Co.
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.
Always a crafty, well informative person to deal with, thank you so much!!!
I reached out on Custommade.com not knowing what to expect with the specialist that I ended up choosing. Katie Fiorito has been so amazing to work with. She took the idea that I had for my gift and she brought it to life in leather a million times better than I could have ever expected. If you are looking for some fine ornate tooling to be done in leather you cannot go wrong with Kate. Give her details and explain what you want and you will be more than happy with the end product!! The person I gave the gift to cried so much when she opened the package and laid her eyes on the project. I had Kate make a journal cover with roses on it with my girl friends name on it in Old English script and man I cannot express in words how wonderful it turned out. Thank you KATE you are amazing!!!!!!
Product was just what I hoped for. Very timely and communication was wonderful! Definitely will work with her again
Kathleen was easy to deal with and the project was completed as per my request and the quote. I would order from this artist again.
