ONE-OF-A-KIND:
Allcorn Leather’s One-of-a-Kind creations are absolutely unique; you will NEVER see another one like the one you buy. These creations are COMPLETELY hand sewn.     After that, the remainder of the work is based solely on inspiration. I have been making similar bags for more than 40 years.
I hope you will enjoy all my One-of-a-Kinds. If you have a special request or suggestion, let me know; you can be my inspiration.

THE BAG:
          The basic pattern for this classy bag is called Marge (see background below). The bag has a larger, 3” gusset and measures 10” wide x 6” tall. The double-thick flap and shoulder strap have an acid-washed hair-on leather that provides a really unique look.
          I added a cell phone pocket on the back using the acid-washed hair-on leather. I also added a buckle to the shoulder strap, so it can fit you perfectly.

BACKGROUND:
Although most of my bags are named after Greek gods and heroes, the basic pattern for this bag was created by my apprentice, Julia, and was named after her sister, one of the early victims of Covid.

THE BOX:
          The basic pattern for this box is called Noula (see background below). The box is 5½” square and 4” tall. It is completely lined with goat skin which extends to the outside maintaining its natural edge. The inside of the lid is also lined; the top has a hole with a “puff” of goat skin trying to escape! The box is dyed with three shades of brown. It is finished off with a couple coats of leather balm and wax.
BACKGROUND:
          Noula is a heroine of Greece. Okay, maybe not, but she is a dear friend I’ve known for more than 50 years. She’s just a little bit crazy (hence “dear friend”).

ONE-OF-A-KIND:  Bouboulina $250 Call: 850-766-4562

THIS BAG: This crazy bag began with a pattern I call Bouboulina (see background below).  I added a cell phone pocket on the back and covered it with goat skin which I had dyed with a special spray to match some of the holes in the skin.
          For the front, I lined two large pieces of skin with three shades of blue and dyed a portion of the larger skin with swipes of black.
          I added a hanging pocket to the inside using a lighter-colored leather, so the pocket is easier to find and use.
          All the straps are double or triple lined and handsewn. The closure strap is triple thick with cut outs in the black leather to expose three shades of blue. It is finished off with a magnetic snap.
          There are four pieces to the shoulder straps; each piece is double thick and handsewn. The buckle allows the shoulder strap to be adjusted to your preferences.
SIZE: The bag is 12” wide x 151/2” tall x 2” deep
COST: This one-of-a-kind bag is $250.00
BACKGROUND: Bouboulina was a heroine of the 1821 Greek Independence. Her wealth allowed her to buy a huge warship which she captained. She and her crew sank many ships of the Turkish occupiers. The Greeks won their independence, but after 400 years of occupation, there are still many remnants of Turkish culture in Greece.
