Rough Cuff Bracelets by Bead Booty

Rough Cuff Bracelets by Bead Booty

I LOVE leather, everything about it. The vast array of colors, the textures & especially the smell. To me the smell of genuine leather is absolutely intoxicating!

Everything about a Bead Booty Rough Cuff is just that, rough. The top quality leather I use is hand cut, hand stretched & hand sewn by me with the express purpose of giving each bracelet a rough, unpolished, rugged appearance.

Each is one of a kind, I refuse to duplicate. When I purchase the leather the design for each bracelet starts to take shape. It's a fun process.

Wonderful

I too love the smell of leather and these cuffs are fantastic. I can almost smell the leather by looking at the image.

Leather

I also Love leather, and I Love, Love, Love what you did with it. I checked out your Etsy shop and it's wonderful!


Many Thanks!

Thanks for your kind words, Bridgett & Leigh!

Rugged leather cuff bracelets
by: Rena

I love the look and fragrance of leather too! These are awesome and have a definite style - and great use of color. Neat that the piece of leather itself "tells" you how to design it.

Is there a metal or wire base inside the leather that helps the bracelet hold its shape?

BTW - I love your Etsy shop banner too! Very groovy.

Thanks so much for sharing these wonderful cuffs here!

Thanks so much for your kind words Rena! These bracelets have an aluminum bracelet blank as their base to give them a bit of rigidity. It's fun to create something & watch its design evolve as the process goes on.
