I had the privilege of visiting Kayrene, of Leather Girl Kelley, at her home-studio in Scotts Mills, Oregon. Next to her house, which backs up to a river, Kayrene’s workspace was built out of an old semi-truck trailer (well, half of one). It’s just plain cool to see all of the equipment, all of the different leathers, and of course her finished products! Oh, and she had just acquired two kittens at the time, which I just HAD to photograph because they were oh-so-adorable and curious!

Kayrene makes all kinds of things, including: leather bags, cast iron handle covers, jewelry, and even shoes! She even has rings, made out of spoons, which do not include any leather…for anyone who is looking for more “vegan friendly” options. ;) If you’re interested, you should check out her website! https://www.leathergirlkelley.com/
