Short Story:
The Dragonfly whizzed through the air like a hovering jewel. The four men leaning conspiratorially over the table never noticed the sylvan creature. If they had, they may have wondered why such a creature was in a village tavern rather than a forest glade. But they neither saw nor wondered, and the conniving carried on uninterrupted. Gossamer wings carried the Dragonfly out the tavern's window and through cobbled streets to a large oak whose great limbs shaded the central market from the sun's gaze. A woman leaned against the grand tree's trunk like they were two old friends having a conversation. The Dragonfly landed lightly on the oak's gnarled bark and twitched back and forth in the way of insects. Finally the woman took notice and pulled her verdant hood back to reveal pointed ears and hair pinned into a pony-tail with a piece of leather curiously missing an outline of a Dragonfly at the center. The creature in question leapt from the tree to its place on her hair pin and settled into place. For just a moment, anyone watching may have seen the strange wild woman's eyes flash as green as her cloak before settling back to a darker hue. "So that's what they're after." She murmured, "Thank you little friend."

*Leather Care:

To maintain soft leather for a long time, I recommend re-oiling the hair barrette with a leather conditioner every 6 months or so. Leather conditioners I use and recommend are Fiebings, Lexol, and Neatsfoot Oil. Simply rub the leather with a small amount of oil or conditioner and allow to cure for 24hrs. If the leather gets wet, allow it to dry in a cool spot away from direct sunlight or a heat source. This could dry out the leather too quickly and cause it to crack.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is the leather you use genuine leather?

    Yes! Everything in our shop is made with 100% genuine cow leather. Specifically 8/9oz Vegetable Tanned Cow Hide, for my fellow leather nerds out there.

    Can you engrave names and/or phone numbers on your quick-release buckles?

    Unfortunately, we don't have the equipment to engrave on the metal currently. We're still happy to stamp a name on the leather using traditional brass stamps!

    Custom and personalized orders

    We can fit a name and phone number on any of our 1.5" wide or 2" wide martingales! Please send us a message to confirm if the name and phone number you have will fit on any of the 1" wide collars. They can be a little trickier, because space is more limited.

    Can I have a phone number added with a name to the nameplate?

    Yes, you can! I can engrave two lines, three lines if you don't mind small print, on the nameplates.

    Will My Order Ship Immediately?

    All of my items are hand-made in a traditional leather-worker fashion (one-on-one with a hole-punch), in my small shop nestled in the woods in upstate NY! Because of the attention I give to detail and the made-to-order nature of my work, my current creation time to shipping is 3-5 business days.

    If you need it faster, I do offer quicker shipping available during check-out or you're welcome to send me a message!

    If you live near Ithaca or Spencer, New York, I do also offer pick-up by appointment with a bonus shop tour!

    Do You Offer Faster Shipping?

    Yes, I do! You can select faster shipping options for an additional cost during check-out. The extra cost goes to USPS for their Priority and Express shipping options. (Note: these options only speed up the shipping times after I've finished and sent your order out.)
