Spring cannot come too soon!
Due to life toppling over and trapping me under a pile of reality, I'm officially taking commissions, but if you have a really neat project you're wanting, please do inquire--I'm at least able to answer questions or let you know what kinds of things are possible, and if you don't have a tight deadline for your project, I may be able to do it over a few weeks.
If you don't see what you're looking for, feel free to ask about specific designs, etc. and I can let you know if there's anything upcoming that might be up your alley.
_______________________________________________________
The designs at Sova Leatherworks are influenced by Art Nouveau, Victorian, Celtic and Modern aesthetics, plus a whole lot of geekery. Books, games, films... if I love it, I'll most likely make something inspired by it.
Want to ask about something I've made, or suggest a new project? Find me on Facebook! (addresses at the bottom) I'll be posting pictures of current projects, and various flotsom about leatherworking in general.

5 out of 5 starsSeller is super accommodating, excellent communication, and did a perfect job on a custom piece. I got it just in time for Christmas which I wasn't even expecting because I waited so long to ask.
The piece itself is gorgeous and well made. It looks like the pictures. The colors are just as vibrant and the design perfect!
This was a Christmas gift for my partner and his brother threatened to steal it. I guess that's both a good thing and a bad thing if people want to steal the actual wallet itself lol. The point is, he loves it and so does everyone else who saw it! -

The infamous elk. (Years later, it still smells awesome.)

There's something so satisfying about holding something you know is made to last.
When I was small, my family drove through the Rockies to Yellowstone Park. Though the geysers were impressive and the vistas were gorgeous, the thing that most captured my attention was elderly leathercrafter at The Old Faithful Inn who etched illustrations onto leather.
The smell of the leather was intoxicating, and, fascinated, I found myself hanging around watching him work. He kindly tolerated this annoying little kid, and thoughtfully answered each of my questions - as though I were another grownup.
At the end of our stay, the gentleman offered to etch a picture for me, and I requested (god knows why this in particular) "an elk - bugling, please" For most of the drive home, I sat smelling the leather and turning the drawing over in my hands.
Today, that little elk picture hangs in my studio as a reminder that regardless of which paths I took in between then and now, this has been a dream of mine for a long, long time.

I like making things, especially if those things make people happy. Also, I am a bit of a nerd.

Shipping
I ship within the United States via USPS Flat Rate Priority Small Box for wallets. Since the pricing is not based on weight, two bifold wallets can fit into a small flat rate box for the same shipping price as one.
I do ship (limited) internationally, using USPS International Priority Flat Rate Small Box. Prices for shipping outside the US rose pretty drastically again last year, and I've decided to eat some of the shipping costs myself because it's kind of ridiculous, and I don't want shipping to be a reason for someone not to purchase. For my shop, shipping in the US is $5.99, Canada is $19.99, and everywhere else is $28.99. (Actual shipping costs me: $6.80, $24.95, and $33.95 respectively)

I charge less than what it costs me to ship - there are never any fees for packing materials or handling. If you'd like to double check actual shipping prices, please visit USPS.com and search for Flat Rate Small Box cost.
Regretfully, I no longer ship internationally using First Class mail, as there is no tracking for that type of shipping, and I've had First Class packages get misplaced, with no way to prove loss or arrival. The risk and cost to me for replacing lost wallets just isn't feasible. :(
Also, please be aware of the customs regulations regarding leather being shipped to your country. Some countries prohibit the import of leather (such as Italy), so regrettably, I can not send leather items there.
Additional policies and FAQs
All my wallets come nicely wrapped with tissue paper and a seal, so if you're buying a gift, it's ready to hand to someone right out of the box.
It's easy to keep leather items looking lovely by treating them with care, and giving them a shine with a soft cloth a couple times a year if they need it. Most of the wallets will actually stay perfectly buffed just by having them in your pocket over time!
