This envelope-style clutch is built from premium vegetable-tanned leather and stitched by hand with durable Colonial Tan thread.

The clean, folded construction gives it a timeless look, while the antique copper hardware adds just the right amount of character.

The closure is finished with a custom wax-seal-inspired accent crafted from rich oil-tanned red leather, creating a striking contrast against the natural veg tan body.

This clutch secures with a magnetic snap for a clean front.

Designed to develop a unique patina over time, this piece will only look better with age and use.

Gave this pair of Blundstones some much-needed cate.

Cleaned them up and worked in a fresh coat of our Rupertsland small-batch leather conditioner to bring the leather back to life and help protect them from the dry Northern conditions. The difference in feel and finish is immediate — soft, conditioned, and ready for many more miles.

Also repaired the rear pull straps and upgraded them with handmade leather replacements instead of the factory tabs. Stronger, cleaner looking, and built to age properly with the boots.
There’s something satisfying about repairing quality gear instead of replacing it.

If you are in Yellowknife, this conditioner is available in and if you live elsewhere, I can mail it out.

There’s something satisfying about bringing a well-worn piece of leather back to life.

These boots had seen their share of miles — dry, faded, and tired. A light application of our leather conditioner and you can see the difference immediately: richer tone, restored oils, and that natural finish coming back through.

No shortcuts. No mass production. Just a handmade, small-batch conditioner built for real use in northern conditions.
