Traditional leather carving, or tooling, is by far the most satisfying part of what we do here at Ravn Leather! We have a range of traditional and original patterns that make a unique and personalised luxury gift for that special someone. (Yes that means you, too!)
All our carved leather goods have the image first traced, then cut in by hand. The pattern is then carved into the leather with various tools. The process is very soothing!
Your pattern can then be dyed, or the whole item dyed to match your wardrobe. See examples, priced, below.
