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.

    While 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.

    If I could give more than 5 stars I would!!! I have never left a review for something in my life but this is how much I loved working with her! She was polite, helpful, captured every bit of detail I imagined, and had it to me 2 weeks before I needed it! She was absolutely phenomenal!!

    I asked Kathleen to make me a sheath for my Benchmade Hidden Canyon knife. She quickly responded to my request, answered my questions and I receive the sheath in short order. There was a slight issue with the retaining strap but she very quickly fixed the problem. I have just what I wanted. I highly recommend Kathleen for her professionalism and expertise.

    Kathleen was in constant communication and sent me pictures as she was working on the project. The book is beautiful and you can tell it is handmade with skill. The designs are actually carved in the leather. Shipping was fast and she completed the project in the projected time frame. Very happy customer!

    This 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.

    Kathleen 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.

    Kathleen 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!

    Again 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.
