The Kraemer Collection

The projects in this post and many more like them were all made with leather purchased from Peter Kraemer, of …, and clicker dies (shape cutting knives) purchased from Amazon Germany.

I’ve been dealing with Peter since my ex-wife and I worked craft markets all over Austria in 2012. And have always found him to be both personable and have fair prices on everything he sells, leather and hardware included.

One of main reasons for buying from Peter is I always get to pick the leather. Unlike online suppliers, who send you what they think will best suit your needs, Peter takes you to his stock room and shows you the pieces he has. Allows you to choose your leather. Then does any trimming and clicking (shape cutting) he can do which need to be done for your projects.

For example, these key rings were all made from leather Peter clicked (cut) after I purchased it. As with everything else, the service charge for clicking the leather into the keyring shapes was fair.
