Pendleton Leather Show

Knotty Hide Leather took 3rd place in the open handbag competition at the Pendleton Leather Masters Competition. We were proud to have presented two very different handbags to the competition!

"Velvet Queen Sunflower Tote"

I had a lot of fun making this bag and it is truly a one of a kind piece of art! It is made of Herman Oak veg tan leather with a pig suede lining and pockets.

The floral pattern was specifically drawn to match the unique shape of this bag. Countless hours (no seriously, I lost count!) went into the tooling and hand painting of the design. In fact, I actually made this panel TWICE because I wasn't happy with the first one!

Assembly was done with 100% hand stitching using Ritza Tiger Thread. All the edges were sanded, burnished, and coated 3 times by hand. Every inch of this bag has been made with the utmost care and attention to detail.

This bag is available for purchase through the online shop!

"Black on Black"

This beautiful tote took 3rd place in the competition! It is made in the same style as the Savannah Tote, but I instead added several very special details.

All the hardware and stitching on this bag is black, hence black on black! The interior is lined with black pigskin suede and the sides are hand stitched with an intricate laced pattern.

The bag is finished with a customized keychain tassel featuring a black unicorn.

A unique one of a kind bag, available in the online shop.
