I’m Kristin, a leatherworker living in San Diego, CA.
My love of leather began at age 8 when I started riding horses. Boots, saddles, bridles, halters, chaps…I was always surrounded by leather!
I started formally working with leather in 2008, after discovering Tandy Leather was 5 minutes from where I was living. Shortly after that first visit, I enrolled in their tooling & carving class and have been working with it ever since. I love leather's versatility as a medium. It can be carved, tooled, burned, dyed, painted, stretched, molded, embossed, etc. The possibilities are endless.
Bad Kitty Leather is for people who like their nice with a side of naughty. Sexy yet sophisticated designs using quality materials and old world techniques.
