There I found Patrick who owns a brand called "Motor street" based in Dallas, Texas, he specialises in all things leather and I found this beautiful watch and wallet set made from natural leather with a Timex watch. Each leather piece is hand made so every single one is different, the leather is only treated with Fiebings Mink Oil so the more you use the leather, the more it ages and gets better with time. I contacted Patrick and kindly he embossed the wallet for me (to make it even more unique) I was so pleased when he sent me them I was very tempted to keep them for myself, but, I now do have a very happy boyfriend.
Scroll down for some more images of his amazing stuff!
Unique gifts that don't cost a fortune are hard to find these days, and it seems every brand has caught on to the idea of "diy chic" but it's genuinely nice to see truly great quality handmade produce.
Thanks for reading.

DeleteAwesome pictures. You're a good writer, something I wish I was better at. Simple, clean, descriptive. I posted a link to your blog on my shop facebook page (www.facebook.com/MotorStreet). Not many followers yet but we're both totally on our way to being super famous.
