Greetings and Thank You for looking at my beautifully handcrafted leather items.
Compare, Ask Questions and Judge for Yourself
I think you'll find my items to be of the highest quality leather, hardware and craftsmanship you'll find anywhere. I handcraft each item by hand, all by hand. Each and every detail, done by hand, every rivet hand set. You'd have a very hard time nowadays finding this style of old world craftsmanship and pride. This "old-fashion" style also carries over to my customer service. I give each of my customers personal, one-on-one service, the way it should be.
Most of the gear I make utilize designs that are industry standards. Tried and True designs that look and function wonderfully. Some of the gear you'll see in my listings are "my own". I use that term "my own" loosly as there really isn't anything "new" in the way of leather gear.... just variations of designs that have been around for decades. "A New Twist" to an already existing item is more like it. That's what creativity is all about. Having the opportunity to be creative and have fun is what I love most about my work.
You'll see in most of my listings "Compare, Ask Questions and Judge for Yourself"... Please be careful and ask lots of questions, ask for detail pictures and READ feedback left for EVERYONE you are thinking of purchasing gear from. There are many unethical people on eBay that "say" lots of things, much of which is just untruths or half-truths. One recent example is a "leather craftsman" that states... and i quote: "And we dont use cheap USMC black dye. It has way to much pigment that cant be absorbed into the hide and causes a bluing to the leather." For one, USMC Black is not a brand or a type of dye... it is a color, like red, green, and blue are. USMC stands for "United States Marine Corp"... USMC Black was developed years ago and has been used for years and years and years by the US Military for shoes, boots and other leather items they use every day. so, hmmmm have they been "bluing" their leather all these years ???... LOL !!! I think he's just insulted our military by calling their deep rich black color "cheap". Compare, Ask Questions and Judge for Yourself..
The hardware that I use are also industry standards or higher grade equestrian/ranch hardware. The hardware I purchase is made for and used for it's intended purpose. You'll never see "bicycle" locks or "purse" hardware on any lauraleeleathers gear. And yes, I have seen "bicycle" locks and "purse" closures that have been taken apart and then promoted as "self-manufactured" hardware. So again, "Compare, Ask Questions, then Judge for Yourself".
If you find something you like but the size isn't right for you, just email me, most cases I can custom size the item for you at no extra charge. I do custom work too, I enjoy brining your ideas to reality !
