New Hand Painted Leather Wallets, Small Pouches and I.D. Card Holders

I am excited to introduce some more of my handmade leather pouches. They are a simple design with fun hand painted designs.  You can use them to hold change, your I.D., credit cards or business cards.  I will be making more of these once I get my larger wholesale orders out.  I can't wait to make more!

You can find them and more leather accessories here:

Handmade Jewelry - Neon Leather Statement Necklaces

I've been getting ready for the summer season creating bold neon leather statement necklaces in a variety of different colors.  The necklaces feature different materials such as goose feathers, Italian leather hides, wood beads and even my new holographic leather.  It may seem that this Chicago winter may never end.  However, inside my studio is filled with bright blinding color to get me through.

Boo and Boo Factory featured in Time Out New York!


I was so excited when I was contacted by the amazing staff of Time Out New York! They featured 2 of my statement necklaces on the website and one in print!  So exciting!

This weekend I'm up to remaking some older Boo and Boo Factory designs that helped me build my brand when I was first starting out.  I think it's really fun to see the progress my work has made but still remember where I came from.  Below are 2 necklaces from 3 years ago back in the shop.  The hexagon modern statement necklace is typically done in pinks and teals, but I wanted to try something different with electric blue and neon green.

Hope your having a great weekend!

Gold Leaf Statement Necklace and Fun Leather Earrings

Spring is coming, although it doesn't feel like it I can still dream of warmer weather! Since I've been cooped up I designed a few new pieces.  I created this awesome radiant orchid purple statement necklace that has a gold leaf geometric pattern.  I was playing around with how to apply gold leaf and I think I got the hang of it! I also made a really fun eye charm leather bracelet.  And lastly, I came up with a new design for spring by creating a flower petal pattern leather statement earring in turquoise, light pink, orange and hot pink.  They are my favorite earrings so far and I will be making several of them in different colors.  Hang in there, spring is coming soon!!
