This listing is for a cross body black purse with a human skull carved and tooled on to the leather.
This highly original purse is truly is a functional piece of wearable art that will last and last. We developed a custom pattern for this purse and each purse is constructed by hand, hand-dyed, and hand-carved from sustainable ethically sourced leather. The thick vegetable-tanned leather used to construct this purse softens beautifully with time and use for a feel you will love.
Color- black hand-dyed leather
Hardware - silver rivets, lock, and buckle. Gold hardware is available in drop-down menu.
Leather - Vegetable tanned
There are three sizes for this bag:
Small: the finished dimensions of the purse are approximate: 8 x 6.5 x 2.5 inches
Large: the finished dimensions of the purse are approximate: 10.5 x 7.75 x 3.25 inches
XL: the finished dimensions of the purse are approximate: 12 x 9 x 4 inches
There are two options for the larger skull purse, one adjustable strap or two (as seen in photo). The strap adjusts from 49" to 55"
If you want your strap shorter please let us know in the notes section when checking out.
Want your initials to customize this purse and make it your own? We can do this for you! Up to 3 initials free. Please just add them to the notes at check out :)
* Note: all colors will pick up the natural highlights and lowlights found in the leather. While these variations add a beautiful texture and character to each piece it does not give a solid color like industrially dyed, heavily chemical dyed, leathers. Because it is not industrially dyed the leather is not softened with harsh chemicals but has to slowly break in to soften with time and use. As you use your new bag, it will take on the characteristics of the story you are creating together. Also, each piece of leather, like wood, is different and has its own characteristics including ripples, creases, high and low areas as this is a natural product. We do not consider these flaws but the unique characteristics of each piece of leather.
The dyes used are an environmentally friendly water-based dye which leaves a rich hand-finished touch on each bag bringing out the unique highlights, grains, and character of each piece of leather. We use a variety of different hand-applied, finishes to both protect and emphasize the leathers natural beauty. The wax on the outside casing is Carnauba wax or palm wax and is non-toxic food-grade wax. This wax can occasionally be seen in the carvings on our leatherwork and eventually will wear away.
This item is not available as a wholesale item.

This dragon is our own design based on our studies of heraldic dragons. Since we are both personally interested in the lore and mythology of dragons...and because dragons may just be the number one requested image at our booth we wanted to make a special dragon together. The other inspiration behind this dragon was drawn from our multiple trips to Europe. This pendant is made of pure copper and we decided to create an unusual shaping to give it further personality. You can wear this with a semi-casual attire or with a casual attire. The red inlay on the copper is by far the most intense colour combination we make. In the natural light the red intensifies like fire engulfing the dragon!
Please feel free to check out my blog about our dragon inspirations on our blog.
This pendant is about 4.2 x 2.6 cm or 1 5/8 x 1 1/16 inches.
Each metal component, made in our Alberta, Canada, studio, is the product of a rigorous 35-45 step process (around 35 per earring or pendant and between 40 and 45 per ring and cuff link). Starting with plain sheets of metal we design and create our components one at a time. Some of the key steps include preparing the metal and design work, etching the imagery and cutting custom shapes. Shaping is done with a manual hydraulic press (2000 lbs plus per a component) to create stronger, more durable and professionally shaped components. Each piece is finished with a meticulous hand applied coloring process wherein each color is individually applied and often on different days to allow for the lengthy drying process (up to 72 hours). The majority of the other steps revolve around an absurd amount of sanding and cleaning, as well as, adding the finishing touches such as ear hooks, jump rings, soldering etc. Because of this no two items are identical and they have variations between each item.
This copper pendant has been made with 99.99% pure copper.
Please see our supplies section to buy a cord.
Each item comes with a care card, authentication card, gift box and item card. The last picture shows what the packaging looks like complete with our in studio made product card. Your item (featured in the first picture) will be featured on one of our custom cards.
For upgraded shipping, tracking and insurance please contact us.
*Note because we are selling online at two different places and we are doing shows it may take the full 10 days for us to ship the item if we have to remake it. Because of this your item will look either almost the same or very close to what you see in the picture (more than likely you will receive the item in the picture above).

Why We Make Books:
Books have been used for centuries to chronicle every aspect of human life and knowledge but one of the most important things books have captured over time are the stories and spirit of those who poured themselves into the pages. Our books capture the romanticism of the classic journal or artists pad by employing a classic binding, high quality leather, and blank pages to beckon the imagination. Our collection dives deeper still into the owners life as each piece is created to be a stand-alone functional piece of artwork which can be filled with treasures from their minds, hearts and lives. As works of art they can be displayed prominently on a shelf or coffee table to create an eye-catching feature. Drawing from our love of travel and the classical era these books are intended to be taken into the moments that define people and used as the scribe to capture the events of the day or maybe of a life time. The acid free pages are ideal for writing, drawing, sketching, photographs, keepsakes, souvenirs, and more. Each book can have new pages added if the user wishes to keep using the jacket or would like to add their own preferred papers in.
Notes from the studio:
How we make our pieces:
Each book in this series is meticulously hand carved, hand dyed, hand finished and hand bound. Each image carved onto these books is an original created from our inspirations, which include: fantasy, travelling to ancient ruins, history and mythology. Some of these books are also hand painted with special leather paints and overlays. The leather used is an ethically sourced tooling hide that softens in over time. All of the leather used for these books is vegetable tanned and is a byproduct of the food industry. The acid free wheat straw pages are great for: writing, drawing, sketching, pen, pencil, etc. The classic bind used on these books gives an elegant old-world finish and allows the user or local book-binding clubs to easily rebind the book with any type of paper. The dyes used are an environmentally friendly water based dye which leaves a rich hand-finished touch on each book bringing out the unique highlights, grains, and character of each piece of leather*. We use a variety of different, hand applied, finishes to both protect and emphasize the leathers natural beauty. Finishes may include, but are not limited to, any or all of the following depending on the piece: high quality oils, waxes, gums, and protective coats. Each book is hand buffed once the finishes have set to give it a resilient sheen.

One of a kind wearable art and signed by the artist.
Almost completely hand created, with custom metal and leather work this mid-sized handbag took over 230 hours to complete.
Metal work featuring the blue sky is curved to make it look almost like a globe emerging from the centre of the bag. There is also a custom metal and leather key fob attached to the bag.
The bag is completely hand dyed, with 5 coats of water based dyed which was done over a series of 2 weeks, hand oiled over a period of 11 days to slowly soften the leather and then hand sealed with speciality wax.
This bag includes an interior pocket, zipper on top and comes with an adjustable strap.
We work mainly with vegetable tanned leather, which is also a by-product of the food industry, to create each of our pieces (books, masks, armour, corsets etc). Each piece made from vegetable tanned leather is meticulously hand carved, hand dyed, and hand finished. Some of these pieces are also hand painted with special leather paints and overlays. This ethically sourced tooling hide softens in over time for a beautiful old-world finish. The dyes used are an environmentally friendly water based dye which leaves a rich hand-finished touch on each piece bringing out the unique highlights, grains, and character of each piece of leather (and not considered as flaws). We use a variety of different, hand applied, finishes to both protect and emphasize the leathers natural beauty. Finishes may include, but are not limited to, any or all of the following depending on the piece: high quality oils, waxes, gums, and protective coats. Each component is hand buffed once the finishes have set to give it a resilient sheen.
Product Care: Please keep out of direct sunlight for extended periods of time, leather will slightly soften with use. Although finishing wax protects the leather please keep tote away from water, oils and perfumes. Item comes with care card.

* Note: all colors will pick up the natural highlights and lowlights found in the leather. While these variations add a beautiful texture and character to each piece it does not give a solid color like industrially dyed, heavily chemical dyed, leathers. Because it is not industrially dyed the leather is not softened with harsh chemicals but has to slowly break in to soften with time and use. As you use your new bag, it will take on the characteristics of the story you are creating together. Also, each piece of leather, like wood, is different and has its own characteristics including ripples, creases, high and low areas as this is a natural product. We do not consider these flaws but the unique characteristics of each piece of leather.
The dyes used are an environmentally friendly water-based dye which leaves a rich hand-finished touch on each bag bringing out the unique highlights, grains, and character of each piece of leather. We use a variety of different hand-applied, finishes to both protect and emphasize the leathers natural beauty. The wax on the outside casing is Carnauba wax or palm wax and is non-toxic food-grade wax. This wax can occasionally be seen in the carvings on our leatherwork and eventually will wear away.

This is a high-quality art print of my original watercolour painting, A Pelican at Big Lake.
Inspired by the majestic American White Pelicans that visit our local lake, this piece captures their beauty and grandeur. What amazes me most is the striking colour of their eyes—I was lucky enough to get close with my zoom lens to see their brilliance up close, which inspired me to paint this piece.
These large, graceful birds only stay for a short time each year, and we always make a point to visit the lake to watch them. Their massive wingspans and effortless gliding across the water never fail to amaze me.

Stormy Sky Wildlife Painting
This is a high-quality art print of my original watercolour painting, Sentinel.
Inspired by a breathtaking real-life encounter, this piece captures the raw beauty and power of the Red-Tailed Hawk.
Just outside my city, I witnessed a remarkable sight—many of these majestic birds gathered in a field, some soaring through the sky, others perched and watching. It was a rare and unforgettable moment.
The background features an approaching storm, symbolizing the dual nature of the wild—both breathtaking and unforgiving. The hawk, with its sharp gaze and powerful stance, stands as a reminder of beauty and resilience in nature.

This is a high-quality art print of my original watercolour painting, Swimming in the Stars.
Inspired by the graceful beauty of Canadian geese, this piece captures a peaceful moment from a local park. One evening, as the sun was setting and the stars began to appear, we stood by a pond filled with hundreds of geese.
My daughter, just five years old at the time, gazed at the shimmering water and said, "Look at how beautiful the reflection of the setting sun is on the pond. Soon the stars will be out, and the birds will look like they are swimming in the stars."
That magical moment quickly turned chaotic when some unexpected geese behind us decided to chase us away! But the inspiration remained, and I wanted to capture that dreamlike, peaceful scene in this painting.

This is a high-quality art print of my original watercolour painting, Green Refuge.

Cedar Waxwings have the tropical beauty of jungle birds, yet they thrive in North America, blending into their own kind of paradise. This artwork captures their elegance in a dreamy, green refuge.

This is a high-quality art print of my original watercolour painting, Waiting in the Field.
Snowy owls often blend seamlessly into winter fields, their white feathers camouflaged against the snow. But if you look closely, you’ll see them—patiently watching, silent and still.
I love going out in winter to search for these incredible birds. This particular owl turned its head all the way around to meet my gaze straight on—a mesmerizing moment that inspired this painting.
