Bicicouture

Hello, I have been selling a bit on Etsy and I have not been branding my bags but I really need to start. Where did you buy your maker stamp? Has anyone ever purchased one on etsy from one of the sellers on there? Some of them are pretty affordable about $35-50. I have been thinking of buying one from one of them I am just not sure if the quality will be great since the price is so low. Also, when applying your stamp I know that leather needs to be wet in order for it to take it, do you just moisten the are where the stamp is gonna go? Does that stain the leather at all? I am taking a beginners carving and tooling class and I am always told that when I wet a piece of leather I should always wet the entire piece so that it does not leave any stains in certain areas.

I have never tried, but there is no harm in trying it out on a scrap piece and seeing how it works out!

The camo printed leather is awesome! Beautiful work!

I buy a lot of my metal hardware from Strapworks fast shipping and reasonable prices. I believe they are in Oregon. I live in Los Angeles and my orders arrive within 2-3 days.

Beautiful workshops! Got some good ideas from them.

Hello! My name is Yomahra and I have a very small business that I run from home. It is called Bici Couture and I make leather bags for bicycles, mopeds and motorcycles. You can check out my shop here www.bicicouture.etsy.com . I have been leather crafting for about 5 years now and I absolutely love it! I recently started a beginners course on leather carving and tooling at a local shop. This is my first forum experience and I hope to share some of the knowledge that I have on leather working and of course I cant wait to learn from everyone here.
