Holiday order announcements

Last call for commission orders for anything you want done by the holiday season.

Deadline is November 15th. After that I am closing comissions until February to prepare for vending markets and creating new projects.

This pause effects comissions only. It does not effect in-stock items that are customizable. In-stock items have templates and some even have pre-cut leather. Commissions require me to make design templates from scratch. I simply will not have the time for start-from-scratch projects if they are not placed before the deadline.

Between November 15th - February you can still place orders for things I have in-stock on the website, and many of my items allow custom colors and hardware.

Please note the turn around times for projects that I have on the website.

The deadline to place any order for a Holiday expected gift is December 1st. Do not wait until the last minute to place a holiday gift.

I know, capitalism has made us all ignorant of how fast the means of production is thanks to everything being made in factories with two day shipping, but real leatherwork is NOT like that. Some leatherworkers have faster turn around times because they have average sizing charts, die-cut presses, and pre-dyed leathers. I have a longer turn around time because I dye my leather in house so that you can choose from several color options and I hand cut my leather specifically to the measurements you provide. I'm a one person show providing an insane amount of customization options, the trade off of slow production is worth the wait, I promise.

Once again, November 15th is the cutoff for custom work due by the holidays and custom orders will reopen in February. December 1st is the cutoff for in-stock orders due by the holidays.

Lastly if you aren't in the Athens area, please just pay for shipping. Don't wait on me to be in the Atlanta area at a dungeon party. I cannot guarantee we will show up at the same parties for order handoffs.

Now I'm gonna go stare at a mirror and tell myself that I'm not an asshole for having to place boundaries in regards to my business.

Thanks for understanding and sending me work to do. Here's hoping in 2024 I can quit my part time job thanks to y'all 🤞
