The first artist is Karin Scholz who specializes in handmade leather bags. Karin is amazing. She makes every bag by hand without the use of machines in any part of her process.
Her bags are a very sturdy but amazing combination of shapes and hand tooled Kobe cowhide leather. She even offers a lifetime guarantee on her products. Many of her bags have an Art Nouveau design inspiration that I picked up immediately. They would be an ideal addition to a museum with a strong Art Nouveau collection and would stand out as a unique selection among the standard merchandise available.
She also specializes in handmade jewelry that has a Victorian era feel to it. It is made for jet, onyx, and leather, again all made by Karin without the use of machines.
