Leather Mania - First Sneak Peek

[Donerix 2.0]

As I said I went on a leather shopping binge. Member Akira (RWG) hooked me up with a great supplier in NYC and after I made the son of the owner some straps he allowed me to go in their warehouse and pick out what I wanted.

Their scrap pile alone would fill a full size truck and held a lot of treasures as you will see.

Seeing all these cool pieces (there is stuff I had never heard of before) inspired me to try a few new lines for my collection.

Have a look:

 

First step: sorting out over 700 pieces by color and style (my lame dog Rosy didn't even lift a paw to help out):

 

 

I have been receiving a lot of interest in Nubuk Croc straps so I was happy to find some nice pieces and even ordered more which will come at the end of the year:

 

 

How about some nubuk hornback croc:

 

 

 

Also found a lot of regular croc pieces:

In black:

 

The matt croc hide on the left is to die for. Excellent quality and super soft

 

 

and brown:

 

 

 

and grey and olive:

 

 

 

 

Also found a good selection of lizard skins:

 

 

 

 

And some ostrich and snake:

 

 

I am usually not a big fan of embossed hides, but this time I saw some incredible stuff:

 

 

 

 

 

 

And some cool vintaged pieces:

 

 

 

 

 

And some camo-printed leathers:

 

 

High quality suede in different colors:

 

 

And some great pieces that will enable me to make some nice straps for our ladies (which I have to admit have been neglected in the past):

 

 

 

Some crazy stuff which I am planning to turn into bracelets:

 

 

I understand that this might not interest everybody but I know some of you enjoy preselecting the materials for their straps.

I should have some first samples later this week.
