Indigo Stained

I don't really buy many pieces of clothing. When I do, it usually takes me a bit of research on sizing because I'm pretty tall, so I was happy to finally find a nice workshirt offered by Rogue Territory. As it was made out of raw denim, the first thing I did was soak it in hot water to soften it up and make sure I didn't get indigo all over the couch or car seats. It bled a lot, which I was happy about, but somewhere inbetween the sink and the clothes line it dripped all over a chunk of 6oz leather. While I thought at first it was just water, the leather dried to reveal that indigo had indeed stained the leather, and it was stunningly beautiful. So this one kind of fell into my lap: indigo stained snap wallets. 

I only had enough for three, so this is a very limited offering. Each one is hand numbered, and in the spirit of denim each one comes in a "red tab" heavy canvas bag that I made up on my new sewing machine. They have 6 card slots and a bill slot on the inside, and I used some new handmade coin concho snaps. The shells have been oiled to lock in the indigo- though I don't know if the stains will get darker or lighter, they're locked in. The inside is natural untreated as usual.  Available in the store now!
