Occasionally, we'll find something tucked away when we're cleaning or moving.

You can only buy it at faire, so here's a reminder of our schedule.

It's almost time for us to load up and head out to Oklahoma for the Medieval Fair of Norman!

This is such a special show! It is the largest, single weekend, free fair in the country! Reaves Park is filled with vendors, actors, cast, and an incredibly dedicated crew.

We're going to have some great new stuff with us, so be sure to stop by!

We'll be updating inventory as we finish them, so be sure to snag one if you've been waiting!

New on our schedule this year is the inaugural year of the Virginia Fantasy Festival!

Most colors of Apothecary Pouch are available now at skapaleather.com!

I'm moving on to flask holders for a bit because I need to look at a different pattern for a while.

By the way, you are awesome. You are wonderful and beautiful the way you are. You are enough. See you soon, friends.

It's the big push to build stock before The Medieval Fair of Norman in April.

We're updating inventory as we go, so keep your eyes out for things we've been out of.

First up, Wanderer's Pouches in the new, larger design and color ways.

Sometimes you have to work on the website and backend inventory. It sucks, we would so much rather be MAKING STUFF. But working outside on a beautiful day makes it suck less.

It's a wild Friday night here at Skapa Leather.

Just watching the tanning episode of Dirty Jobs like the nerds we are.

As the Skapa engine gets cranking for what is going to be our BEST SEASON EVER (more to come on this....)
I realized I never shared this story. We had the opportunity to "fully" outfit several of our patrons last year. We are so grateful for the opportunity to create such art together with you, and we thank you for trusting us. Want something similar? Give us a shout.

This is a test post. This is only a test post. FB/Insta is being a jerk. Viking Steve is watching you....

I'm sure some of you have been wondering where we've been.

We're moving onward!

Due to an agreement allowing the previous owner of our property more time to finish emptying the workshops, we weren't able to get into our permanent shop before the 2025 season. It was less than ideal, but we persevered and set up in our basement and 🌈 garage.

We didn't like it, but it gave us the opportunity to completely gut the building and rebuild. We uncovered and addressed some electrical and plumbing issues and reinsulated to current standards. Things that will last.

It's been work, but it's been fun.

We're moving in soon and can't wait to get back in production.

We love you. Be well. Abolish ICE.
