We’re just gonna pretend that I haven’t been completely AWOL online for the last several months… 😬

Not dead, just doing a LOT in the studio and finding it *really* hard to switch out of analog gear these days.

I’ve been trying to host this event for…18months now? But we’re finally doing it!

The Misfit Market at the Krakenwhip studio is happening this Saturday, November 29th at our Oakland studio. We’ve got LOADS of scrap leather, and plenty of not-quite-right stock as well as some pieces that just haven’t found their people yet at steep discounts. Come on by and see what’s to be seen!

1. We’ll be dropping two new collections every Monday at 3pm PST. (No big Black Friday drop, sorry!)
2. We’re hosting an event of our very own right here at our Oakland studio on Saturday November 29th, where we’ll have steep discounts on not-quite-perfect or older stock, some odd ball sewing/crafting/making supplies and LOADS of scrap leather for sale.
3. You can find Krakenwhip gear at Avalon Leather so if you’re headed to Texas Ren Faire this weekend or next, be sure to check them out.

Mwah!

Study in Scarlet and Forty Fathoms are headed to the website real soon! (3pm PST, to be exact) and wow are they GORGEOUS 🤩

Both of these color ways were originally created for Clockwork Alchemy (or fave hometown Steampunk Con) so they’re excellent choices for any Dickensian looks you might have planned this Winter.

Remember, any belt can be any size, so shop like everything fits. 💜🔱🐙

One of the barriers to size inclusivity that small brands often face, is the inability to predict how many of what size of each garment to make.
Thankfully, our Regal belts are intentionally designed so that we can easily change the size of any belt we’ve made. (Yes ANY belt can be ANY size.)
In the booth, that means that we start the day with a full size range, and offer free resizing so everyone can have the belt they love at the size they need.
For our online shop, that means we get the belts *almost* finished in the studio and then list them online as Sized to Order.
So when you see these stunning
💚Fixated on Verdigris💚
belts online, you’ll see both pocket sides but they won’t look like a complete belt yet. That’s ok! We’re just waiting on your sizing info 😄
