    Summer is Gone, Fall is Here ...
    Yet, it feels like Winter is Fast Approaching!

    What a wonderful summer, I met so many great customers at The Greenway and Ink Block Shows, every weekend all summer! We had rain, wind and severe heat yet customers were faithful and always had a joke or a smile to keep the day going. It is truly priceless to have a direct connection with my customers. I've learned what you like and what you'd like to see, collaborated on new styles and ideas, even tweaked existing styles to suit your needs. I thank you all for a great summer season!

    Now, we're looking toward winter and the busy holiday season. Trying to create some new styles to check those important gifts off your list! Keep checking back, we're updating the site with new leathers all the time and a few One-Of-A-Kind styles like the Hair-On pouches above. Many shapes and sizes priced from $22. - $78.

    Thank you once again for your continued support!

    Smile, Hug, Love,
    Lara ;)
