NEW: Hand stitched Sami Reindeer and Fish leather bags and pouches.
Reindeer leather is a precious commodity that is difficult to source. Most of the reindeer hides are used by the Saami people for their own clothing and personal use. I am only able to purchase the reindeer leather in small quantities that are sold as scrap leather. I stitch the small pieces together in order to make purses, pouches, reindeer bracelets and other items. Nothing is wasted.
The fish leather is made from fish skin waste that is usually discarded. The skins have been tanned and softened using natural methods. Once Fish skins have been tanned properly, the leather becomes soft and pliable - and feels much like a soft suede leather.
DUE TO NEW EU GPSR PRODUCT SAFETY RULES I AM NO LONGER SHIPPING TO THE EU -
This is a custom-made item and cannot be returned unless faulty.
Please note that if your order is being posted outside mainland UK, you (or the recipient) may have to pay customs or VAT charges and a handling fee. The seller is not responsible for any charges or fees that may incur.
Full description
A hand stitched coin purse with a zipper. The coin purse was made with Reindeer Leather and Tilapia Fish Leather.
Approx. Size 13 cm x 8 cm
Tilapia Fish Leather: Dark Grey
Reindeer Leather - Burgundy
Edge seam of the pouch - Wool Vadmal
Zipper Closure
The hand stitched purses are slightly irregular in shape due to the natural shape of the Fish skin and scales.
I like to use Wool Vadmal (a type of felted wool cloth) between the stitched layers of the bags. This helps to secure the edges and to fill in the holes created by the use of a leather sewing needle.
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: UK
THIS IS A CUSTOM ORDER
The original item has sold but I can make another as a Custom Order. The colours of the fish leather and reindeer leather may be different depending on what I have in stock. Please ask if you are interested in ordering a Coin Purse.
