Not sure what this is all about since I’ve not received negative feedback to any post I’ve made past or present, that I can recall. There is no specific reason that I can find for this decision. Who knows what further changes may be forced… just a heads up if HTH goes even quieter than usual. Lots of custom work going on behind the scenes!

When the crow IS the shiny thing, what’s not to love?! Black 4-5oz chrome tanned pebble grain cowhide with a hand tooled and stamped crow patch finished with a combination of black and brown dye and Angelus gold leather paint on 5-6oz veg tanned cowhide. The rivets, snaps, purse feet and zipper are all gold-toned and the purse has an interior slot pocket in addition to the large tote compartment. This purse is entirely sewn by hand, as well. 💛🐦‍⬛ 💛

Finally got back to this project that’s been in the works for a while! I am using a pattern that I’ve used previously as the foundation of this piece, but I’m also going off-script to make some custom pieces that fit the project a little bit better. It’ll take about 16 miles of thread to sew this thing together, but I like how it’s shaping up!

A new custom item off the bench: a badge wallet. This thing is a beast by design with a card/document slot with an 8oz welt, the badge window slot with an 8oz welt and 8oz badge anchor and an ID card slot with a 5/6oz welt. The original badge wallet that this replaces was filled to bursting, so extra heavy welts will allow for room for necessaries while maintaining strength and integrity that will last for ages!

This custom sketchbook cover was made for my coworker who is an incredible artist. She just completed a mural at our place of work before she leaves us to begin a new adventure with her family. It was great to get to come up with a design that captures some of her favorite things. I’ll definitely be doing more color splash work in the future! Fun!

Check out what the Ogres are cooking up now!! 🤩

Something new is coming!
Over the past few months, we've been working behind the scenes on something built specifically for makers - materials that aren't just cut and sold but selected for movement, character, and story! This is the start of TOF MERCANTILE CO. More coming soon!
