Zilk Leather and Laser

Zilk Leather and Laser Hi, I'm Danael. It rhymes with flannel. I started this page so that friends and family could easily find my work. Everything is guaranteed for life.

I make leather items from the reclaimed upholstery leather of discarded chairs and couches.

Well, this bag was delivered today. Charlena Shatek was tickled with it. I'm glad that she likes it. I had mixed emotions while making it. The butterfly on the front flap is for her mom. She had a thing for butterflies. The closures on the front are twist locks.

Working on a new corset/bustle/belt thingy for Amy. It's based on one that I fixed for her last night.

What should I make this weekend? I'm taking suggestions. Hell, if I like it well enough I might just give it to you.

This is a variation of the wallets that I made for the auction at the Dunkerton school. This one has two additional external card pockets for quick access to frequently used cards and a ring for attaching your pimp chain. $65 or best offer and I'll make one for you. I like this one and I'm gonna keep it.

Underwear bag 2.0 is finished. I'm not that happy with it but it'll hold your junk. I mean, it's functional and it looks more like briefs than the previous attempt. The fly is even useful as an external pouch. I should have made it go all the way through. 3.0 won't have the gray trim pieces. They make it a little difficult to assemble the bag. Instead those parts will just be stitched. Anyway, if you'd like it go ahead and make me an offer. I'll start negotiations at $100.

This is the inside of the previous wallet. Zippered coin pouch. Several card pockets. Purple satin brocade lining. I keep changing the coffin wallets. I've made several and each one has improved over the last.

It's finished. I'll get another inside pic. I took one but sometimes my phone glitches and forgets to save photos.

This is a one off trifold that I whipped up. It'll be going off to its new owner here soon. I might make one to sell but it won't have this color of alligator embossing.

Recently finished working on this... thing. It's completely made out of reclaimed sofa leather. I'm not sure if I should add hardware for a strap or not. It's like an envelope. I don't know what to call it exactly.
