Custom leather goods craftsman

[Hermesaholic]

I am in search of someone that can make a bag to my specifications. I am willing to spend a decent amount of money on high quality work and materials. Any references here in the states would be most appreciated-preferably in the Northeast somewhere.

I think that the leather surgeons in Pennsylvania might?

Laurel Dasso on Etsy, she does great work and has awesome leathers including ostrich hides. Rough and Tumble on Etsy I think they will make some modifications to their bags. Laurel is in New York and Rough and Tumble is in Maine

I third Laurel Dasso! She's making a completely custom cross body bag for me in goatskin and bison!

Just checked out her website and I was amazed - the edges, the stitching, the designs - and no offense intended but far above the average etsy artists. And she runs a school to teach the craft as well. Yes, her prices are in the premier design tier but if you compare to some of the couture houses, I'm guessing her prices are quite reasonable. And I love her bee logo. Definitely will look in on my next trip to SF.
