Baum Celaris: Burnt Orange

It's always an honour when Darren Baum asks me to do some custom leatherwork for his personal bikes. The Celaris is the latest model to join the Baum range. I made the handlebar tape and covered a Pro Stealth saddle in black with burnt orange perforations to compliment the frame. Thanks Darren!

Bespoke Handmade Dog Collars

 I just finished these two dog collar and lead sets for Jamie's two brown Staffordshire bull terriers, Myf and Tripod. Made with two layers of brown vegetable tanned kangaroo leather and a sandwiched layer of coloured leather showing through the perforated top. The collar hardware is stainless steel, the swivel scissor clip is nickel plated and all of the leather edges are saddle stitched and burnished.
