This stunning purse is only going to get better with age.  A rich chocolate-colored cowhide is inlaid amongst swirling scrollwork, blossoms and intricate geometric stamp work. Buttery-soft deerskin fringe is carefully braided on and cascades down one side.  Tipped with copper and buckle jinglers, it  sounds beautiful as it dances with your every move. 

This beauty measures 8” across and 3” deep. It easily holds a checkbook-sized wallet, cell phone, sunglasses and much more. The double-headed zipper allows you to open it a crack to just slip your phone in or all the way to view the entire contents of your bag.

The shoulder strap is 5/8” wide and could easily be changed any time you want a different look or length

This stunning piece is a true piece of American craftsmanship. The genuine squash blossom that adorns the front is Native American made and absolutely gorgeous.  This is the third collaboration piece between myself and Turquoise & Co. and the first made in this style. There is nothing else in this world like it!  Swirling around the silver are delicate scrolls that remind me of waves swelling and crashing. The sides and backside of the bag are equally detailed. This purse will only improve with age and use, developing its own unique patina. 

The deceptively spacious interior is 8” across and 3” deep. It easily holds a checkbook-sized wallet, cell phone, sunglasses and much more. The double-headed zipper allows you to open it a crack to just slip your phone in or all the way to view the entire contents of your bag.

Bringing back this fun style with even more interior space than before!  I've added a zipper gusset to the side which allows you to fill it full with your wallet, phone, keys and other essentials.  I have also added a padded raw silk interior to the design.

But enough about the technical upgrades...

Bold lines of geometric stamps contrast with the flowing lines of hand-tooled scrollwork on the front of the bag.  Made using top quality American-tanned leather, I freehand the design directly on the purse before painstakingly tooling it with thousands of hammer strikes.  No designs in the leather are ever copied, making this clutch truly one-of-a-kind.  

A simple zipper closure allows quick, easy access to slip in your phone and wallet and prevents anything from falling out later.  The interior is lined with leather and sage green raw silk.  This midsize clutch is designed to carry a full-sized wallet and phone easily.   

Soft deerskin zipper pulls makes opening your bag a breeze and can easily be upgraded to a fringe pull on request.

The Taco is a 14" circle, folded in half with a 1.5" gusset

This newest style of purse is sure to get you noticed.  The unique shape is covered in hand-tooled swirls and flowers and intricate finger-cut scrolls flowing around a heart motif.  Three tassels of soft deerskin fringe fall from the bottom giving it an almost bohemian look.  Easy to carry, simply slip your arm through the loop and off you go.  When you are ready to set it down or wish to carry it like a clutch, the arm strap swings down around the side.  Due to the fringe at the bottom, this bag will not stand upright on its own when set down.

Purse measures 11" across, 7" at its tallest and 2" deep

*This purse is the original prototype.  After making it, I made a minor change to the design for future purses.  Though I may be the only person to notice the improvement to the zipper attachment, I feel it is unfair to charge full price on this bag.  Because of this, I am offering it at a discount.  It is in no way flawed or sub-par,  I simply like the way the new zipper attachment looks better than the one on this purse.

Show off your curves with a custom tooled leather waist cincher.  Designed to be worn around the narrowest part of your waist, it can be paired with an endless number of outfits to add a bit of western chic to your wardrobe.  The belt will be made to fit your specific measurements and can feature the design(s) of your choice.  Incorporate your brand or favorite design elements as well as pawn, pops of color, borders, and/or geometric stamps.  Price will vary greatly depending on final design you choose.  Contact me prior to purchasing this slot to verify your order details and receive an accurate price quote.

Average belts range from $400-500,  and a final invoice will be available once work begins on your belt.  Payment will be due prior to shipping. 

Please, take the time to properly measure your waist as custom orders are non-refundable.  I recommend taking the measurement over a undershirt at the narrowest part of your waist, keeping the measuring tape snug against your skin (but not too tight).  A modesty panel on the belt allows for an additional 2.5", giving you plenty of wiggle room throughout the year.  

Wait time varies throughout the year.  Contact me regarding current custom wait times.
