Hi, I recently bought a bomber sheepskin leather jacket and it just came today but I don’t believe it’s sheepskin I just wanted to check this is faux right? Apologies for the question

I'm wanting to buy a bag such as this one I just want it to be real leather. I'd say it's real but the edges make me think it's not? Hmm if you have any tips on how to identify that let me know.

Just launched my newest minimalist wallet design on Etsy! Handmade from premium Italian Buttero leather with a magnetic closure in your choice of silver, gold, or black hardware. I offer a wide range of leather and thread color options, and I can even make a matching keychain to complete your everyday carry.

Regular price will be $125, but to celebrate the launch I’m running a limited 25% spring sale — bringing these down to just $93. Now’s the perfect time to grab one or commission a custom piece!

I unfortunately ran my leather Burberry wallet through the washer and dryer, thankfully I found a place that can fix the seal and edges fixed but they can’t help with the warping. Are there any solutions to this? Any advice would be much appreciated this wallet means a lot to me!

Just got this new bonded leather couch, but it was ripped up a bit when we were carrying it up the stairs. Very minor scratches, on the surface, but wondering what we could use to repair it? It's bonded leather, and it's above the fabric underneath

Hey guys, I just bought this sheepskin leather jacket and it’s new, I really really like the style but I’m concerned about the quality. It came with some sort of discolouration/ cracks, does it look like it’s going to degrade quickly? I cannot exchange for a new one as it’s sold out, should I return it? I would love to keep it but I like to buy things that last. Thanks

The hazel leaf bag was inspired by the hazel coppice at the corner of our lane. It is a gorgeous bag, and generous enough in size for all daily needs. 

The bag has a separate inner compartment and a long, adjustable leather strap. It is hand stitched in traditional saddlery fashion for added strength and a great aesthetic. It features leather leaf detail chapes, a strong magnetic fastener, copper rivets and solid brass fittings.

What do y'all think?

I’m planning to buy a vintage Tod’s suede/leather shoulder bag from a secondhand market, and I’m torn between these two options. btw they are both quite cheap - bag 1 is $25 and bag 2 is $18.

I’m also strongly considering dyeing the bag into a purple/deep plum color like this coach bag in the last pic. Both the suede and the leather part.

Which bag looks like it’s in better overall condition to you?

Considering my goal to dye it deep purple/plum, which one would be a better base? (I'm wondering if the dark teal of Bag 1 will make the purple too muddy/dark, or if the light mint of Bag 2 will be easier to color-correct using suede dye).

Do you think this DIY dye job is achievable to match the Coach bag's color? Any specific tips or warnings for handling Tod's suede and leather mixture?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Slim tooled wallets, two different thickness for the leather, all veg tan. Used a laser and an airbrush as well as some traditional tooling and painting on the back side. Grommet and two main pockets, also holds 4-5 cards comfortably, possibly more. Edges I did with burnishing gum and then sealed with beeswax. Hand stitched.

Thanks for looking.

Hello! I'm new to this group. I wanted to hear from some who really know leather. Am I able to get these shoes fixed ? Would it be worth it or even possible I got them originally or about $150 ​​​​​Because I spent more on them than I usually would, I thought I could get them repaired to make them last

I threw what I thought was an empty scent diffuser on my couch.

Is this fixable or am I going to have to live with it?

Any tips to clean, and treat to remove or reduce the stained effect would be great appreciated!

Hello everybody, i recently bought this full grain goat leather jacket second hand. When I got it smelled a bit like a musty cellar, but it doesn’t anymore.

Do you think those spots are mold or just the regular grain of goat leather?

Was doordashing and pop spilled all over, my florentine leather was in the crossfire!!! How do I clean it???? It’s literally covered and I’m heartbroken for my favorite piece of clothing :(

Hi everyone,

I just bought this full grain leather belt for around $200, and I noticed there are several marks/scars on the leather, as shown in the pictures.

I’m wondering if this is just normal for genuine full grain leather since it’s a natural material - for example marks from the cow’s skin/neck area - or if it’s something I should be concerned about.

I also noticed the area around the holes already looks a bit worn/used. Could that realistically happen from the 5 times I’ve tried it on, or does it seem excessive for a brand new belt?

This is my first full grain leather belt, so I’m honestly not sure what’s considered normal at this price point. For a $200 belt, am I overthinking this, or would you also question the condition?

As the title suggests, I picked this up at a thrift store for 30 bucks and theres no brand name to be found. It seems like its in great shape but id like to clean it up. Theres some small stains on the canvas inside the bag and im very tempted to give it a dunk in the bath tub. Any suggestions would be helpful.

The purse has just been kept in its dust bag for over 2 years and kept in a walk in closet and it's not damp in there at all. Is this mold? What do I do? TIA.
