UNEARTHED

New Work!

  It's been a bit stressful moving and unpacking a house and studio, while still trying to keep kids taken care of and help them stay on top of schoolwork. It seems like everything ends up taking four times as long! I figured unpacking would take a month, but here i am a good three months in and there are still boxes in my garage and closet! Oops! Oh well, slowly but surely! That being said, it really hasn't allowed too much time for creating new work. It's just too hard to rsist setting up home in your free time instead of buckling down and playing with leather! 

Fortunately though I have found a few minutes to play around and am so glad I have. I am completely head over heels in love with this new work! I've begun listing a few pieces in the shop on Etsy and there will be more to come this weekend! Here is a sneak peek of whats in store!

These pieces are patent leather! Arent they just amazing! And the crazy part is that photos just don't do them justice. The way the light plays off of the iridescent finish is beyond stunning. I'm definitely adding a few of these to the personal collection here at the studio! And I can not wait to list even more. Has to be hands down one of my instant all time favorites!

You can find the green on gold piece shown above HERE.

XOXO

New work July 26

 

   It's been a little while since I've posted any new work, I know. I've had a particularly wild past several months and squeezing in the creation of new work and then actually getting it all into the shop has kind of been a battle of epic proportions! But I've finally got all the loose strings mostly tied up into pretty little bows now, so that means I can focus on showing you guys all the gorgeous stuff I've been hoarding over here! It also means I have the luxury of coming up with new and exciting pieces to share which I can't wait to do in the coming months!

I've actually just listed this beauty in the shop. It's not a new leather, but it's a beautiful cut of a total classic and I've never offered it in gold before. And although you guys know you have the option of switching out the metal bases whenever you'd like, sometimes it really makes a difference to just see it, you know?

So here you go! I think this looks just stunning on the gold. It really warms up the leather and gives it a modern, sleek, minimalist look that still somehow feels super natural. Don't you think?

UNEARTHED on Fab!

                                                    

  I'm so thrilled to let you all know that there is currently a live UNEARTHED sale on Fab.com! If you're not familiar with Fab, it's a phenomenal flash sale website offering discounts on a wide array of merchandise from home accessories to jewelry and clothing as well as gifts and furniture. They are extremely supportive of independent artists and the handmade movement and regularly feature fellow Etsy artists and crafters alongside more established larger brands.

This is a bit of a big deal for the shop, since the shop doesn't have regular sales. Many people message me asking for sale dates and notifications, but truly, an UNEARTHED sale is an extremely rare event. But for the next few days if you head over to Fab, you have a rare opportunity to snag some shop staple pieces as well as a few rarer offerings at a great discount. Plus, they offer free shipping with every order over $75!

It might be quite a while before another sale is held, so jump on this while you can!

Over the past few months UNEARTHED has been partnering with Wicked Peacock and is now available in store and by request at their new boutique in Rockport, MA! So if you're in the general Boston area and would like to check out some pieces in person drop by!

        

It's so exciting to be working with such a great boutique, and you will undoubtedly love them as well!

Welcome back!

We have taken a pretty long hiatus from this little blog! We miss it so much! The holidays were insane and we were literally swamped with family and work and general holiday madness that we had to put this endeavor on the back burner, but we're back! And we're back with so much new work in the shop.

We haven't been blogging, but we sure have been working! This season we're filling the shop with all kinds of goodies, from the ultra luxe classic pieces to new and modern leathers even we've never seen anywhere before. We're so excited about it all, we have neons and plaids and matte finishes and it's like a candy shop over here, only with leather! We have some of the pieces up in the shop ready to go, but work will be trickling into the shop over the next few weeks and it's all awesome. If we do say so ourselves!

Here are some of our new favorites, all available in the shop now!

XOXO

Vintage Burberry plaid in Patent leather on a Signature Gold Lined Cuff  - you can find this one here!

The Capped Cuff Version can be found here!

And the silver lined version is available by clicking HERE!

Star Stingray

   Alright... a lot of designers work with stingray. It' a difficult leather to work with, requires tremendous precision and patience, but aside from the technical intricacies of it all is a stunning and standout leather no matter what. It looks incredible, feels incredible, and just exudes glamour. You can find a bevy of exquisite stingray leather goods out there in the world, but no place other than the UNEARTHED shop can you find this! A rarity if there ever was one - star stingray! And not just any star stingray, green and burgundy star stingray! Literally, the rarest and most unusual piece we have ever offered. We've never come across anything like this, anywhere. The color is beyond beautiful and almost transcendently so. It has this distinctly ethereal and cosmic vibe to it that is beyond amazing. We know we sound a bit hyberbolic here, but truly, the immense beauty of this piece can't be overstated. If you're looking for something for someone who literally has everything, we can guarantee that they won't have this! This is the only piece like this that exists in the world, and hope it finds a wonderful home before we decide to keep it for ourselves!

This is truly the beauty of nature at it's very best.

We hope you love it as much as we do.

Happy Holidays!
xoxo

Spotted: Meredith Heron's blog!

We've spotted one of our cuffs on the blog of interior designer extraordinaire Meredith Heron! We adore her and her impeccable style and are (not so secretly!) thrilled that she's rocking that cuff, which is one of our absolute favorites. If you want to rock your own you can find that piece here. And if you haven't checked out her blog or website, what are you waiting for!?

Aaaahhh, 'Tis the season!

I know it's been a while since we posted anything, but man oh man, it has been CRAZY over here! We've been working our little fingers to the bone, ruining manicures left and right, and have been awash in a sea of priority mail boxes and stingray dust! Looks like everyone is shopping early this year, which is awesome! Nothing feels quite as satisfying as crossing off that special someone from your holiday shopping list and knowing they're getting something beautiful, handcrafted, and exotic! But that means double duty for us! It's ok though, we don't mind. The holiday pace is actually quite amazing, and without fail come Dec 24th we end up feeling aimless and bored and have no idea what to do with ourselves!

But amidst all the holiday madness we're still trying to find some time to bring you new and amazing things! We very randomly stumbled upon what we thought was a long gone hide - a spectacular and extremely rare burgundy and green star stingray! We thought we had sold out of every last inch of this hide years ago, but apparently stashed a bit away so well that even we forgot about it until now! We're seriously contemplating keeping this ourselves, but you might be lucky enough to find it in the shop soon. We'll keep ya posted. In the meantime, check out the awesomeness!

Introducing Cinnamon Brown Alligator!

   We've been working on this particular piece for a while and finally we've got it up in the shop! We really really love this one, it's such a wonderfully warm reddish brown, completely perfect for Fall. We won't be doing too many in this color, and while it's technically not a limited edition, it won't be made in large numbers. So, if you're looking for something edgy and dramatic, but still warm and totally chic, you've just hit the jackpot!

You can find it in the shop now!

Red and Ivory Patent Leather Cross Cuff

We just listed this new piece in the shop! We're completely in love with it. It's definitely a new all-time shop favorite. Ivory patent leather on red patent leather and it's so ridiculously gorgeous in person. We'll only be making a few of these, so if you love it as much as we do grab one now! You can find it HERE!

Black Polished Stingray Cuff!

   We're so excited about this new piece! Nothing quite floats our boat like black ang gold together, and when the black is this super sexy wet look stingray, well.... it's pretty epic in our minds! We just listed this gorgeous piece in the shop this evening and couldn't wait to share it here. It's really so gorgeous, and the black is not really a black, but rather a milky, deep deep asphalt grey that is sort of a black, but just not completely! It's really one of the most clasic, elegant, and timeless pieces we're offering now, and is still ultra glam on top of it! What a combo, eh? We hope you love it as much as we do! if you do, you can find it right here!

Sneak Peek: White Pearlized Snakeskin!

Check it out everyone! Even though we've been completely slammed with work and haven't been posting much, it doesn't mean we're not running things at double speed over here trying to bring you new work! In the little moments we manage to steal in between cutting, sanding, and packaging all of our goodies to send out into the world we managed to do this:

It's a white pearlized snakeskin! We've offered pearlized finishes before, but this one truly takes the cake. It's a gorgeous true pearl color, and fades to an incredibly subtle grey-blue at the edges for a divine ombre effect! We're so in love and can't wait to list this in the shop. It should be up by tomorrow, but we'll keep you posted!

Leopard Print Calf Hair = Awesomeness!

So, we've been MIA for a bit... about two weeks ago we decided to head out to a big huge pumpkin patch to pick our own pumpkins on the vine and I ended up being bitten by some mysterious insects I *think* were fire ants, but the end result was a full on week of high fevers, body aches, sweats and chills and general epic unpleasantness! Thankfully it's passed and we can get back to business and start sprucing up the shop for the holidays! We just finished up some new calf hair pieces in a gorgeous traditional leopard print and we couldn't be happier with them! It's such a silky, luxurious hair on leather and we're completely in love with the print! Super fun, super chic, and a perfect way to get in on the snimal print trend without running the risk of looking like a one person member of an 80's hair metal tribute band! 

So without further ado, our first post-fever offerings! Hope you guys love them! They'll be up in the shop today!

Green Alligator Leather Anyone!?

Today I am feeling green. This OOAK green alligator leather cuff isn't in the shop yet, but it will be soon! Thought I'd share how cool it is in the meantime...

Red Stingray + How Awesome is John Waters?!

So totally feeling this Cry Baby vibe right now thats all over The Style Rookie (and besides the amazing hair and make-up who doesn't love John Waters!?) - something about the bright red lips and scarf! I think it subconsciously inspired me to make and list these in the shop:

I can totally see a glammed up edgy version of that retro look played out with some great Rick Owens leather and one of these cuffs, can't you?

xoxo
