Soot Cat

I made this a bit after getting settled in!

This bag is made from 100% custom dyed vegetable tan sheepskin (outer) and cowhide (straps). It has solid brass hardware and is lined with a super soft brilliant red pig suede. It is truly lush to the touch. As always, 100% hand stitched.

I have learned so much from making bags the past couple years and truly enjoyed the experience.

I will likely make more bags at a later time or if asked, but for now I will be starting to reach into other areas. As well as, starting some more long term projects that feel closer to my interests🙂

Thanks for looking!

Some custom deck boxes I made recently!
These are for trading card games like Pokemon, Magic, and YuGiOh. Absolute blast to design and make. Everything is hand stitched, painted, dyed, and laid. (Except the liner, I didn’t dye those)

Lil sneak peak-
I have been thinking for a while on an original design. I made this from scratch 🐱 🐾

After thinking on how to address concerns I have received via feedback: a spacious, functional, affordable real leather bag- that does not compromise quality. It is highly customizable while remaining at a lower cost.

Sitting empty, it weighs just over 1 pound.
The bowties are temporary, I have bits ordered. This is just a sneak peak.

Tentatively calling it the Soot Sack. Still working out minor things, but you can expect to see more of these and hopefully other original designs soon.

Been quiet, been working.
Moving soon then getting back to work 🔨

Ever wonder what Mrs. Claus carries?

This is a mainly suede backpack with 100% super soft rabbit lining, custom dyed veg tan accents, and solid brass hardware.

Waiting on the brass ends for the cord to come in! Then, you can catch it or sootcat.com

The sleigh bell is included and can be removed if desired via a snap clip.

Did you know? Pawlets make it really simple to EXPERIENCE a design before comitting to a set? Every single Pawlet is serialized with a number and documented rigorously-

Here is another piece to the set for Pawlet #003, aka “The Bug” Pawlet. (I will put in comments) I look forward to adding even more to this set🤩 🐞

This was another go with different leather weights on this design.
The body and pocket outsides are pig suede.
The accent pieces are custom dyed vegetable tan.
The hardware is solid brass.
The patches are hand carved, tooled, colored, and cut.
EVERY bit is hand stitched, just like the Pawlet 💛
