Something New For Spring

I  am currently working on a new line of bags, stepping away from recycled leather for the moment. I  am playing with shapes and kind of obsessed with circles. I love a clean minimal look. I also took a little time and tried a woven look as well. New things on the horizon!

Rustic Season

I have been working on new items for Fall and Winter. I love working with rustic looking leather, this type of leather gets better with age and has a rugged look. It's rich in color and has great texture. Check out my Etsy Shop for a few new pieces.

Midnight Clutch

So I have my hands on some really nice recycled leather. The texture is amazing and this leather reminds me of midnight. I have created a few new pieces and this snap clutch is one of them. I have already placed this bad boy on my Etsy shop. More creations to come, in the meantime check out my shop at: www.treefairfax.etsy.com

Sling Back

Spring has sprung and I'm ready for the sun!!! I have started working on some simple and easy handbags that will be perfect for the warm weather. A no fuss, wear with everything type of bag. I created this bag with some lovely recycled,chocolate brown leather and it's pretty amazing. You can find this sling bag in my Etsy shop at

Chocolate Peanut Butter

So, this lovely tote was once a couch. I love to work with recycled leather, lay out the pieces on the floor and let my imagination go to work. The leather I have is so limited and I am unable to mass produce but I think I kind of like it that way. Thankfully I had enough of this peanut butter leather laying around and was able to make the straps. I am in love with the chocolatey brown leather and the richness of it. You can find this one of a kind tote on my Etsy shop at

Brown Bagging It

Match Made In Heaven

Came home to a special delivery from MatisseFootwear.com! My favorite shoes this year and I can't wait for Spring. They go so well with my handmade goods. Perfect Spring wear! Neutral Leather!!!!

Leather Goods

I'm prepping some things for a new website that will feature my work very soon!! Many pictures to take today. It's all about leather over here.

Go to: www.localeclectic.com to purchase this lovely bag!

Drawstring

So the sun came out and I decided to play. I needed to take some new photos of these lovely drawstring bags and I think I like this unedited look. I hope to take photography class some day.

Back It Up

This is my version of a backpack! Minimal, dark caramel, brass hardware with hand stitching. Simple yet I feel it will turn a few heads. I've fallen madly in love with this bag because I was only able to make one in this size. It will be hard to let this one go but I can't keep everything that I create. Soon to be posted on my Etsy Shop at www.treefairfax.etsy.com

Foundation

Sometimes my tote matches the foundation! Just playing around on Instagram snapping pics of a leather bag I created last year. These bags are more than accessories they are like art to me.

Collection of Caramel

So this is what I have been working on, for the love of caramel!!! I decided to step away from the Janome sewing machine and do some real hands on work. 50 million hand punches and stitches later..........You can now find them on my Etsy shop.

Hand Stitched

I have my hands on some really lovely dark caramel leather and I wanted to create a clutch that could also be used as a IPad case. This leather good has a sleek minimal look, easy to grab and go. You can find this item on my Etsy shop at www.treefairfax.etsy.com

Plum Pack

Quick picture I took of this lovely deep plum backpack I am working on, it's coming together pretty nicely. Hope to have more pics up later! 

Putting In Work

It's a new year and new ideas are forming. This month I have began working on some new projects an hopefully pushing the limits with recycling leather.

Leather Weather

My love for vintage runs deep, I came across this leather skirt at the goodwill last year. I had some scraps of leather laying around and decided to give these wooden bangles a new look. I also picked up this necklace at a second hand store, I love these vintage black beads so I added a few African brass beads and created a new piece. There is nothing like black on black!

Once was.....

I created this little bag last year and tucked it away for some reason, now I'm obsessed with it. In it's former life this little bag was once part of a old couch..... Look at it now!

Slate

So I am going thru my recycled pile and trying to create as much as I can so that I do not have to waste any leather. I found a few pieces of this slate color leather and decided to create a few mini bags. I love this color and texture and the bags came out really nice. I will have these up on my Etsy Shop very soon!

Colorful

Create

Just a little something that I have been working on recently, I love this toasted caramel leather. There is nothing like taking recycled leather and creating something new and fresh. You can find these lovely handmade bags on my Etsy Shop at www.treefairfax.etsy.com
