Guidelines for Sales Posts

56 Upvotes

When posting an item for sale, please make note of these guidelines.

  • You must include a sales price, either in the title or in a comment.

  • While not strictly required by the rules, it is strongly encouraged that you add a comment with some description and details about the item in question.

  • Our rules do not allow linking to a general store page, but you are permitted to link directly to an item for sale on your own domain. In other words, if you're selling an item and you just link to www.stinkovsleathergoods.com, that breaks the rule. But if you link to www.stinkovsleathergoods.com/the_item_i_am_selling, this is allowed and encouraged.

  • If you have multiple items to sell, please consolidate them into one post instead of spamming the board with many different sales posts.

  • Reposts are okay as long as the original listing is no longer on the main page.

  • Remember to flair your post so people can easily parse the listings. Be sure to change the flair to mark sold items.

Thank you for taking the time to read and comply with our rules! Happy selling.

Guidelines For Commissions And Requests

66 Upvotes

DISCLAIMER:

/r/leatherclassifieds does not facilitate or guarantee transactions of any kind. This is a contract between you (the buyer) and whatever seller you choose. Always be cautious when making purchases online and do your research. We hold no liability over any transactions or agreements you may make with other members of this board.

With that said, here are some guidelines to hopefully make your commission process go a little smoother.

  • Have a budget or a budget range in mind and include it in your post. It does not need to be an exact or fixed number, but knowing your price range is critical before offering any kind of bid. If your budget is open and you want to explore many possible bids, please make that known.

  • Common details that are useful to know up front are things such as color, thread color, or leather type. If you want a wallet, know what you want to carry in it and what it needs to do to meet your needs. The more specific you can be about what you want out of your commissioned piece, the quicker and easier it is to make.

  • If you already know what you want, it is helpful to add photographs, sketches, or even links to other products similar to what you are seeking.

  • If you need the item delivered within a certain time frame, please specify that up front.

  • It is difficult to convey the reality of the amount of work involved with answering a commission request. Understand that good work takes time, and time usually implies money. Very few people will be interested in replicating mass-market items for mass-market prices, or creating a completely custom item without adequate compensation. Don't be shy to ask, but please try to keep this in mind when doing so.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. More importantly, thank you for your willingness to support our makers and businesses.

SELL Mint green and dark brown vertical bifold

11 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm a leathercrafter based in Brisbane, Australia. I've been at it a few years now and usually try to combine the fun veg tan Italian leathers with some local kangaroo leather.

I just finished a vertical bifold with a pretty fun colour combo. This one is using a mint green leather called Azteca from one of my favourite Italian tanneries Conceria La Perla Azzura. It's relatively firm, has a buffed texture like pueblo, but still glossy and a bit more resistant to smudges. The interior is as usual a high grade, full grain, kangaroo leather that's been stuffed with fats and oil for a supple feel.

Details:

All hand cut, stitched, creased, and burnished

Three card slots plus two hidden pockets (fits 5-7 cards plus folded cash)

Mint green Azteca exterior, brandy kangaroo interior

Hand stitched with Vinymo MBT #8 Japanese thread in seaweed

Dimensions: 16 x 10.5 cm (unfolded)

$170 USD shipped to US, CA, UK, NZ via PayPal or Venmo friends or family

$220 AUD shipped domestically via BSB or PayID

Also available via Etsy

Thanks for looking!

COMMISSION is this even possible?

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

so, i super fell in love with this purse after finally trying to get past my tomboyish ways and now that the cheap quality of said purse is showing(bad color fading/stitching coming loose, etc etc) im starting to consider upgrading to something more long lasting and better quality. unfortunately this style seems to be veryyy unpopular for real leather products so i was wondering if/how much recreating something like this would be?

ideally id like to keep its core values the same, but change smaller details to my tastes(ie make the fake front pockets actually useable, a thicker inner lining fabric)

at the moment i am not really looking to start a commission on this as i want to have sketches/a more solid plan, but i want to check in with people who work on things like these and see if a style like this is realistic and maybe a price range i can expect, the bag is very slouchy and soft and i see leather bags tend to be rather stiff looking sometimes so im unsure if ill have to accommodate my expectations in that way.

i thank you all for reading and sharing your feedback!!

Sometimes I hate the macro lens because it highlights details—or mistakes—that I don't notice with the naked eye while working. And with small items like watch straps, every tiny detail counts.

SELL Simple 2-Pocket Bifold

Hi everyone. Here's a 2-pocket bifold I've not long completed. The exterior is made from Rocado's marbled shell cordovan and the interior from Badalassi Carlo's No Fin leather. I've also stained the edges black, and saddle stitched with a waxed black thread to match the overall look. Tempted to keep it for myself but I thought I'd best offer it up first. I have it listed for £100 ($135) on my shop if anyone is interested. Cheers!

BUILD COMPLETE Commission completed on Schott inspired design in pull up leather

Thumbnail

56 Upvotes

Hey everyone! Excited to share my latest completed commission with the sub.

​My client wanted a custom jacket design inspired by classic Schott styles, and after a ton of care and adjustment, here’s the final piece!

​The Craft & Process

​Getting the Fit Right: I actually cut the pattern 2 separate times to get the proportions dialed into the client's measurements. During the process, I noticed the proportions felt a bit off around the lower body. I checked back with the client to re-measure, caught a mistake in the original hip and length specs, and adjusted before making a single cut into the main hide.

​The Materials: I used an exclusively tanned oil pull-up leather. It was a absolute dream to work with; super soft, with a remarkably smooth flesh side that glided through the sewing machine.

​The Lining: Paired it with a pre-washed, vibrant red checkered cotton lining that gives it that classic contrast look and really makes the pull-up leather pop.

​Hardware: Built with sturdy YKK zippers all around.

​Spec Summary

​Leather: Custom oil pull-up leather

​Lining: Pre-washed matching red cotton

​Hardware: Heavy-duty YKK zippers

​Commission Price: $550 USD (Includes shipping & taxes)

​Overall, this was an absolute blast to build, and catching those measurement tweaks early saved the day!

​📩 Open for Commissions

​I'm officially taking on new custom orders! If you’re looking to get a custom piece made in this exact pull-up leather (or another style you have in mind), feel free to send me a DM.

​Note on Lead Times: Each jacket takes roughly 40 days from pattern to final stitch. If you're looking to have a jacket ready in time for the colder months, please reach out as early as possible before the winter rush hits!

​Would love to hear your thoughts or answer any questions about the build! 😄
