One more custom order ready to go out next week. Love everything about this little beauty and am sad to see it go😭 🌵 Cream-colored Pendleton wool body embroidered by @tina_vines , turquoise pawn rosette, and a pop of color on the tooled leather top. And if you need a ring like this (which you probably do), talk to @cbgems💕 #westernskieshandmade #leatherwork #handmade #southweststyle #purse #customorder #tooledleather #desertvibes #vintagestyle #detailsmatter

One of my favorite parts of finishing purses is exploring the area for the perfect backdrop to photograph them. Found this gem across from an old abandoned school just ten miles from my house. Can't wait for my current batch of customs to be finished so I can prowl around some more! * * And if you'd like to get your hands on a skirt or belt like this, I just got some fun fabric in that will be hitting the shop as soon as I can get it stitched up... #westernskieshandmade #leatherwork #handmade #southweststyle #purse #vintagestyle #custom

I can't decide which of these hairpipe and turquoise purses is my favorite, but this raspberry-colored beauty is right up there. Bone hairpipe beads, genuine American turquoise beads, hand-cut fringe, and a gorgeous Pendleton wool body come together beautifully on this one-of-a-kind tote. A very limited number of these will be made, so get your hands on one before they are gone for good... #westernskieshandmade #leatherwork #handmade #southweststyle #purse #vintagevibe #nativeinspired #southweststyle #forsale
My day in one minute... Sewing magnets on, lining tops, trimming and efging, punching holes, slicking edges, and sewing the bodies on. Still have to braid the sides and make handles... #westernskieshandmade #leatherwork #handmade #inprogress #timelapse #workinghard
