Handmade leather flag

A special order received by Atelierul de istorie consists of an entirely handmade leather flag inspired by the ancient Dacian civilization. The project is a complex one, with several working stages and materials involved. The central element is a piece of veg tan leather, tooled with the ancient Dacian war standard, the Draco, hand-dyed in contrasting colors The background is made of brown, predyed leather, with the letters for "Dacii liberi " (the Free Dacians") perforated and sewn with silk thread, as it is more resistant. The flag is meant to be attached to an inverted L-shaped support.

Size: ca. 50 x 40 cm

Handmade leather goodies from the Transylvanian Trove

The Transylvanian Trove includes several handmade leather items - bracelets, earrings and coasters. The most recently added is a vintage tooled veg tan leather bracelet decorated with a hand-painted geometric flower motif (that some have also interpreted as Neptune's trident :)).

The leather earrings available on the Etsy shop are both tooled and plain leather ones. The advantage of both is they are light and warm to the touch, so very comfortable to wear. The octopus earrings have been described in a previous post HERE and the autumn leaf earrings HERE.

I have also recently added another category, i.e. leather coasters, made of up-cycled natural leather, assorted in brown and black colors. The colored coasters can be used to differentiate between glasses at parties and receptions.
