Vintage Buckle Belt

I made a belt for Kylie to compliment the ornate sterling silver antique western buckle set she brought back from a recent trip to Texas. The belt is embellished with a set of leather embossing tools that have been in the family since the seventies. Bi-laminated leather so that both sides have the grain, the edges are hand stitched and burnished and the front and sides are hand dyed leaving the inner side natural.


Card Wallets: New & The Repaired

After a decade Geoffrey's perforated card wallet was in need of some TLC. Re-stitching, a good clean and some moisturiser. I also made a fresh plain card wallet in whiskey colour leather for good measure.
