Motorcycle Gear Transformed into Leather Fringe Handbags

Custom orders are always so special to me, and this one was no exception.

A few months ago, I was carrying one of my own fringe designs around town and was approached by a woman that also has an affinity for fringe.  That tends to happens lot - we fringe-lovers spot one another pretty quickly! 

She started to tell me about her own fringe garments, and described an old pair of custom made leather pants and some funky leather fringe chaps sitting in the back of her closet.  She does not ride motorcycles anymore, but she still holds on to these leather garments - not sure what exactly to do with them but quite certain she will never wear them again.  After a quick conversation about what I do at Uptown Redesigns, a new custom order was launched.  She sent me "before" photos of her garments, and we got started with new design ideas.
