One-of-a-Kind

One-of-a-Kind LEATHER GOODS
Allcorn Leather’s One-of-a-Kind creations are absolutely unique; you will NEVER see another one like the one you buy. I start with a pattern I have and make the body of the bag. After that, the remainder of the work is based solely on inspiration. I might cut parts off and change the leather to “hair-on” or deer or fish. Most shoulder bags, for example, have a double shoulder strap that will probably be made of two different leathers.

Mostly I work with different leathers to add a pocket (or 2) or a strap or a closure that just makes the creation look “right.”

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.

Artemis Hair-On
This is the most beautiful hair-on hide I have seen in 45 years of this leather work, possibly because it is calf hide.
The "Artemis II" is a HANDSEWN rugged and beautiful bag. It features a buckle on the shoulder strap to adjust the strap to your preferences. SIZE: Approximately 12" X 12".
The Greek goddess Artemis was the rugged goddess of the hunt and all wild things found in the woods. Although a skilled hunter, she was also particularly protective of all the young animals.
Like the goddess herself, "The Artemis" is designed to be rugged and to last for decades.
Accessories include: Outside on back Cell Phone Pocket $8, Doubled Shoulder Strap $25, Inside hanging pocket $10, 2 or 3 colors $5,

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.

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 bag is called Marian (see background below). The bag has a 2” gusset and measures 8” wide x 6” tall. The brown leather is cow hide, the lighter leather is goat and there is even a bit of hair-on deer hide peeking out from a couple holes in the front.
          I added a cell phone pocket on the back and another piece of goat under the flap.
          The double thick shoulder strap has goat accents at the base.

BACKGROUND:
          Most of my bags are named after Greek gods and heroes. For the basic pattern of this bag, I deviated from this standard with a nod to the famous British tale, The Legends of Robin Hood, and named the bag after Robin’s greatest love, Marian.

          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”).

THE BAG:
          This crazy bag began with a pattern I call Bouboulina (see background below). The bag is 2” deep x 12” wide x 151/2” tall. 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.
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.
