Keeping it Local : Leather Bike Bits

 

Geoffrey Franklin of Walnut Studiolo creates hand stitched leather bike accessories. They are high-quality, beautiful, durable, and most of all functional components for your bicycle.
I don't often read artists profiles on etsy, but I was pulled into reading his, loved everything he had to say, and immediately thought we would be great friends. Until we meet and decide we would be fantastic buddies, I will just have to buy some more of his great bike accessories. I bought the 6-pack cinch (pictured below) at the bazaar this weekend!

 

Belt Floors

 

Recycled leather belt flooring by Ting London. 

"Each belt is hand selected to ensure a high grade of leather and then the belts are stripped of their metals, hand cleaned with chemical free substances and prepared for use. The vintage belts for each tile are carefully designed in-house as the colour and patterning on the belts is sensitive to each tile. This means no two tiles will ever be the same." 

These are so sexy.
