Top 5 Handcrafted Gifts
1) Lacquer-Embossed Leather Key Case - Black
This leather key case is carefully handmade in Japan by artisans who practice traditional methods that date back to 1582. Originally used as a way to decorate and boost the durability of leather pieces on Samurai armor, lacquer is embossed onto supple deerskin leather for a beautiful layer of protection. The intricate design gives the case a distinctive finish and makes one a gift rich in history.
2) Large Top & Side Personalized Cutting Board
This personalized cutting board with words makes for a custom gift that is also well-made and functional. Each one is handmade in the USA from maple wood and features a hand-cut expression or name. Whatever words you choose, the care put into creating each board shines through.
3) Travel Journal Wallet
American Bench Craft: Travel Journal Wallet - Tan Leather & Solid Brass Rivets
