I design and handcraft everything with the help of a troop of vintage sewing machines. The hardware used is saddlery and tack hooks, clasps and buckles, so they are strong and durable. I create quality items that will last to be cherished for years. As leather is a natural material, there will likely be slight color variations and imperfections that are used and embraced in the making process. It's part of the intrigue with working with this natural, rugged material. It's what I like to call functional art.
