Here are the answers to a few frequently asked questions, but if I haven’t covered something, don’t hesitate to get in touch!
What kind of paint do you use?
I use Angelus Leather Paint; it’s an acrylic based paint meant for leather surfaces that won’t crack or smudge but will wear with your leather as it ages.
Where do you sell your jackets? Via my Etsy store and at pop-up shops & festivals, which are always announced on my social media pages (Instagram & Facebook).
How long does it take to paint each jacket? This totally varies on design and colors used but each jacket usually takes 6-8 hours to complete.
Where do you find your jackets? I scour the internet, source items from markets and vintage shops, and prey on good leads from friends!
Is everything real leather? Everything you see in my Etsy shop is 100% genuine leather. I do come across faux pieces that I can’t resist from time to time, but they will always be clearly labeled.
Can I wear these jackets in the rain? Well, I wouldn’t wear any leather jacket in the rain, but not to worry, the paint won’t melt off or wear any more quickly if it gets a little wet.
How do I clean it? A damp cloth will clean the outside of your painted jacket but don’t scrub or pick at it with anything abrasive.
Do you paint men’s jackets? I don’t typically stock men’s jackets but I absolutely can paint a custom piece!
What’s the process for a custom piece? You provide the jacket / purse / wallet / chair — anything your little leather-loving heart desires and we will work together to come up with a design. We can replicate or build off of any existing designs you see on my portfolio page or we can dream up something totally unique and custom to you.Pricing is based on intricacy of design but typically starts at $150 and it takes about 10 business days to turn each piece around.
