The Big Caramel Tote

More caramel deliciousness!! So in love with this recycled Italian leather I came across last week. I just finished up this one of a kind tote and its for sale at www.treefairfax.etsy.com

Caramel Leather Tote

So excited because I got some new recycle leather the other day. My eyes were locked on this caramel leather and I could not wait to create a new tote. This color is perfect and it will be hard to not keep this bag for myself.  If I can live with out this new creation it will be on my Etsy shop this weekend. www.treefairfax.etsy.com

Slate Leather Clutch

I'm in love with this slate color leather and I used every inch of this leather to create with. I really like this clutch and the look and texture of the leather really makes this bag stand out. I added a tassel to give it a finished look. This bag is now up on my Etsy Shop at www.treefairfax.etsy.com

Well Put Together

So I decided to clean out my work room and I try my very best to use every piece of leather that I have. I had so many odd pieces of this toasted leather and I couldn't let it go to waste. I feel like I cut a thousand strips of leather that day but it all paid off. I really love the way this bag came together and I have just enough strips left to make two more bags. I love making one of a kind pieces.

Milk Chocolate Accessory

Milk chocolate in the form of leather. This is the perfect clutch for day or night. I only had enough leather to create one, so this bag is truly a one of a kind!

For The Love of Chocolate

I really love creating with this chocolate leather, its very rich in color and has a smooth feel. The more these bags are used and carried around the better the leather will look. This was definately a great find when I went searching for new leather to create with. Please check out my Etsy shop for new items. www.treefairfax.etsy.com

Carry Me

I love a classic tote, wearable everyday and looks amazing with a pair of jeans. This chocolate brown leather is amazing and it will look better and better as time goes by. I really like it when leather has that worn look. I'm still in the factory creating each day and I hope to have a lot to offer on Etsy and at a few local craft shows.

Back Packing!

Sunday creations,  lots of cutting and sewing today. Just finished up this backpack and I think I really love how it turned out. This chocolate brown leather I found when I went for a little country ride last week and I am putting it to good use. I will definitely have my new creations up on my Etsy shop very soon.

Slate

I took another trip to the country and found some really nice icy grey leather. This is a recycled piece that already has that worn look a feel. This is by far my favorite recycled piece to work with and every bag turns out great. I have lots of creating to do!

Pleats Please

So I am still working with this deep burgundy leather. I switched it up and added some pleats to give this clutch texture, this process is time consuming but worth it.

The Fall Tote

My love for the Fall season is showing up in all of my designs. I came across this fantastic deep burgundy plum leather at a second hand shop. I have so much of this leather to work with and I can't wait to see what I come up with next!

Fall is my favorite time of year. I love the colors and the changes we see around us. I am very inspired during this season and I love the colors in this leather clutch with Aztec print. This makes for the perfect Fall accessory.

Old gray leather jacket

My niece was cleaning out her closet last weekend and came across this old grey leather jacket. She knows that aunt Tree loves to recycled leather and I went to work on this jacket! I decided to sew seams along the leather and created this mini bag. I lOVE the way this bag turned out and I will create more with the left over scraps.

Distressed vintage skirt

I made this bag a while back out of a vintage leather skirt and wanted to switch things up. So I decided to soak the bag in water for a hour to give it a distressed look. Came out pretty nice.

Vintage leather skirt revamped

Found a really nice vintage leather skirt at the Goodwill and couldn't wait to chopped it! I decided to make a nice tote bag with a zip closure. I still have another half to work with so more bags to come!

Leftovers

I have very small strips of leather all over my work room and I just can't bring myself to throw them away so I decided to create a bracelet. I love recycling.

Weird Accessory

I was going threw all of the jewelry I've made in the past and found this wrapped wire ring. I created this a few years ago using vintage German beads and silver wire. I never could explain what this was, it's weird but it works.

Thrifting and Vintage Finds

I LOVE thrift shopping and finding hidden gems. I came across this brass cuff at The Second Helping store and fell in love. I am kicking myself for not buying the matching necklace :(
