Shepherd Shoes

Customer: Ive had these sandals for years. They are my favorite. I just love them! Can you make me another pair? The last photo is of the original sandals. #saltspringislandbc #saltspring #handmadesandals #bespokesandals #hermes #loveparis #leathersandals #bespokeshoesforwomen @ Salt Spring Island

New vegetable-tanned leather on some vintage chair frames. Hand- burnished edges. #rhubarbdesigns #bauhaus #leatherchair

Made new straps and seat for a Bauhaus B3 Wassily armchair. The leather is English bridle, front and back (chestnut colored, vegetable-tanned) with hand-burnished edges. It smells as good as it feels! The armchair was designed by Marcel Breuer in 1925. #bauhaus #wassilykandinsky #wassilychair #saltspringisland #iloveparis #leatherfurniture #hermes #leatherwork #bauhausdesign @ Salt Spring Island

A quiet Sunday afternoon was spent finishing this restoration project for a customer. A rocking horse that has been in the family for 110 years. For me, it was an exercise in balancing authenticity, make-believe, and safety. New saddle, stirrups, saddle blanket, reins, bridle, ears, and real horse hair tail and mane. #saltspringisland #rockinghorse #modelhorsetack #horsetack #hermes #iloveparis #lonsdaleleather #saltspring #leatherwork #leatherhandmade @ Salt Spring Island
