Holographic Alligator leather handbag
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..

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 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.
