Leather

Did you know that my leathers are dyed to order?

Aleina Leather Bag at IraGrant on Etsy

Yep, I bought them from a small company in Italy who will dye them after I purchased the leather. Usually my supplier send me their leather colour swatches then I will tell them which one I like or pick any colour from wikipedia, if they can do it or not they will let me know before I transfer the payment:)

So, yes they are very special made for you, only sometimes I have to wait a little bit longer before they can ship them to me, just like my bags, made to order:)


I love the idea like this, very personal and they just do the dye when they knew someone want the leather, no unnecessary waste!

So great reading! I like the fact that they make the colors after requests. And you already know that I love that green color :)
