Blue Duck Creations are makers of designer handbags, totes, bags and cases for any need. We can create a unique bag just for you using our materials or yours. We enjoy the collaborative process it takes to create exactly what you desire. We mainly use leather for exteriors, but we can work with many types of materials. We can even take a leather jacket, or other object, that belonged to someone special and turn it into a stunning creation that will remind you of them with every use. ReLoving [our word for reusing, recycling, upcycling] items that you have been saving can make you love them in a totally new way. Having completed an intense designer handbag making course, leather working classes, along with 40+ years sewing experience, I am confident we can create the purse, bag, case, or other creation you have envisioned.
Blue Duck Creations also has a component called Duck Creek Custom Rod Builders. We have been making custom fishing rods for over 15 years. We design and build a fishing rod for fresh or salt-water fishing that will match the reel you have chosen. No matter if it is for casting, spinning, trolling, jigging, or fly fishing we can make a rod as fancy or as subtle as you wish.
Although you may think these two are very different, they have many of the same requirements. Most important to us though, is making a custom project with the utmost attention to detail that will thrill you every time it is used.

For Men’s bifold wallet5.0I loved working with Kathi and Rick at Blue Duck Creations. They created a beautiful leather wallet as a gift for my son. They included every detail I requested and kept me advised of their progress with e-mails and photos. Communication was great. The quality of the leather they chose was great and the workmanship was amazing. I needed to make a change to the design of the wallet and they made the change without hesitation. They completed the project in plenty of time for my deadline, even though I asked for a change in the design midway through their progress. I recommend using Blue Duck Creations and I will definitely be using them in the future.

For Glen's Wallet5.0It has been an absolute pleasure working with Blue Duck Creations on this wallet. They were in constant communication with me through the design and crafting of the wallet to make sure that i got exactly what I was looking for. The wallet is perfect and looks so good that I almost hate putting it to use. I highly recommend you consider Rick and Kathi for any leather projects that you are considering.

For Leather briefcase with padded laptop compartment4.8Blue Duck Creations made me my ideal leather briefcase! I was able to customize every aspect of the design, with plenty of guidance and advice from Rick along the way. When any of my design choices ended up not looking right or working well, Rick walked me through the options and redid any work to ensure the final product was perfect. I look forward to enjoying this bag for many years, and will definitely call on them again for any future projects.

For leather bifold wallet4.8Blue Duck Creations has been a pleasure to do business with. They were prompt in every interaction response. They were kind, respectful, friendly and very accommodating.
They clearly believe in the philosophy of measuring twice and cutting once. They assured that they were making exactly what I wanted in the leather wallet by creating a drawing, checking sizes, sending photographs and keeping me in the loop every step of the way.The leather used on the wallet was a soft, very nice quality leather that I'm sure will last for many years.
I look forward to giving it to my husband for Christmas and know that he will be just as thrilled as I am with this handcrafted product.
Thanks for a great experience and lovely product.
