“Artists who believe in themselves are the ones who make great art”

I believe that it is important to recognize the sacred connection that we humans have with animals.
It isn't my intention to exploit the animals for fashion, but rather to honor and adorn them.

I am an artist who has chosen leather as my medium to create accessories that are one of a kind pieces of art made entirely by hand. The non-endangered stingray, snake and alligator along with vintage furs and recycled leathers are my materials. Vintage woven fabrics and velvets are also in the mix.

My mentor "Leather Man" Juan Santiago taught me that fine workmanship and quality are the most important elements in hand done pieces. To that I add my own unique style that ranges from classy to edgy rock and roll. I make custom pieces and can work directly with my customer to create their dream bag. My clientele includes those looking for the the unique, the rich and famous, and most importantly the appreciative.

This site is a small sampling of the numerous designs I have created. Please feel free to e-mail me to discuss your dream piece.
