An Expanding Set.

Die at the Helm is expanding its set of possibilities. 

  
 New for this winter of 2012/2013 are handmade leather and waxed cotton billfolds.

These wallets have a long inside pocket for your cash and two parallel diagonal pockets for your cards.

These simple slim buffalo hide billfolds are available at the Workhouse in Bend, Or.

 

They are also available on Etsy. And of course they pair well with the Die at the Helm handbags.

Intensities in Hues

A smidgen darker and a bit muted. It’s still red.

Oxblood.

Oxblood, with its hints of brown and cranberry, complements the more traditional tone of the leather. This waxed cotton bag was made in Portland, Or. The base and handles of this handbag are made from a buffalo leather. Buffalo leather is tanned using traditional methods and does not require the use of highly toxic chemicals.

 

This bag is 3" wide, 13" across, and 14" tall (not including the roll down top).

The top rolls down 9.5" in order to complement the waterproof nature of the fabric used. Waxed cotton is cotton impregnated with a paraffin based wax and then woven into cloth fabric.

The handles measure 28" long and are secured with small rivets. 

This bag was stitched on an old cast-iron Singer sewing machine with a thick contrasting tan thread.

All of the waxed cotton bags are available by special request.
