Another one done! Custom passport wallet ready for James’ big adventure. #customwallet #customleatherpassportwallet #handmadepassportcover #hadmadepassportwallet #greenwichvillageleathercraft #carminestreet #shoplocalnyc #brickandmortar #handmadeleatherwork #oldschool Thank you James!

The problem: Randall’s tools would not stay in the hinged boxes inside his Dad’s old Doctor’s bag. To do that he also needed handles, reinforcements around the bottom and where the lids folded open and the eight corners. And a 7 oz. veg tanned lining made from one piece in each of the boxes. Now the once doctor bag is a tool bag. Thank you Randall.

Looks like its going to be a long winter. #shoplocal #carminestreet #nativeleathernyc #knitwear #greenwichvillage #maskup

Number 11’s ready for pick up. When your named after the third Pharaoh of the nineteenth dynasty of Egypt, you should have a custom made pair of leather sandals. Thank you Ramses! #customsandals #greenwichvillageleather #handmadesandals #customleather#shoplocalnyc #carminestreet

Number 4 Just picked up. Thank you Daria!

Only my second attempt at a magic braid belt. The first attempt was practice. How much leather makes a 34 braid? It’s not 44. Thanks to Matt for the order. #customleatherbelt #braidedbelt #leatherbraidedbelt #englishbridalleather #greenwichvillageleather #carminestreet #handmadeleatherbelt #magicbraid# shoplocalnyc #customleatherwork

Sandals in the sun just waiting for Evan’s feet. Dick named this style Carol after yours truly. Evan opted for cobbled soles instead of stitched. Stay tuned for the final fit. #customsandals #handmadesandals#customleatherwork #greenwichvillage #carminestreet #supportyourfeet #archsupport #orthopedics #happyfeet

#1s ready to rock , run, walk, stand ,skip, dance, show off. All while socially distancing from at least 6 ft away. Thank you Shoon

Happily ever after. The gloves on the hands of the son of the man who started the story many years ago.

The Kens for Chloe were also a perfect fit. #customsandals #handmadesandals #greenwichvillageleather #vegetabletannedleather #carminestreet

The Judys for John were a good fit! #customsandals #customleather#greenwichvillageleather #handmadesandals#carminestreet#englishbridalleather #vegetabletanleather

I can hear it but can’t see it. Anyone recognize the birdsong?

Taking orders IM me. This is designed to be worn over a disposable mask. Lining is washable vinyl.

Cover your N95 or that paper mask you got from the local deli. Lace over ears or around the back. Lined with washable man made material. Outside purple suede. Nickel grommets for ventilation. This is for show . Not for protection. IM if interested. #leathermask

One of the more obscure custom projects. Can you guess the sport and function? It’s about 2 1/4 wide.

Another favorite belt saved with a new billet. Single thickness English Bridle black leather. Thank you Luiz. #beltrepair #leatherrepair #Carminestreet

This block really doesn’t want to move. Wanted: an angel who still believes that small businesses make a community and we all need one really well made belt that lasts a lifetime. #customleather #shoplocal #Carminestreet #leathercraft

It’s a really big bowl. Snow is coming soon. Need a hat? Gloves?

MITTENS yay #Carminestreet #shearlingmittens #sheepskin

The last incoming order just in time for today! #shearling gloves #shearlinghat #sheepskinhat #wintergloves

It’s all gotta go! And it’s a great day to shop.

SALE ! Retail just ain’t what it used to be. Custom is booming! But it can’t carry the load. Downsizing Now. I will keep doing custom orders thanks to the generosity of Manuel and Jose at Chuva : 195 6th ave. Corner of Charlton. I wish there was another way I could stay on Carmine a street that I love.

The brief: make a banjo strap with turquoise suede and a little bling before the 25th. The result:I hear John is pleased. And I learned how banjo straps work. #banjostrap#carminestreet#customleatherwork#customguitarstrap #nativeleathernyc #guitarstrap #boutiqueguitars #customguitars #luthier #guitarsofinstagram #guitarsdaily #guitarporn #guitarselectric #geartalk #guitarart #whatsonyourbench #guitarsdaily #guitarporn #instaguitar #guitarlife #guitarlovers #luthiery #guitaroftheday #leatherwork #guitaraccessories #leatherguitarstrap #handmadeguitar #boutiqueguitars #guitartalk #guitarplayers

This was one very fun project. Thank you to Ken and his Sony Walkman.
