This leather bookmark is engraved with a stunning illustration of a robed woman with ornate corner decals that is over 100 years old. The leather itself is hand selected veggie tan cow leather for years of reading use. Because the illustration itself is adapted from a book that is over 100 years old parts of the illustration may look rougher than modern art. The art is adapted for the bookmark but I like to preserve the original aged beauty from the printed source so I try not to alter the illustration itself. Please see the pictures for more details.

    Made out of Leather

    These bookmarks are made out of handle selected veggie tan cow leather. 


    Why We Use Leather

    • Leather lasts for years.
    • Leather can be composted.
    • Leather is durable, yet thin and flexible.
    • Veggie tanned leather is tanned traditionally using plants. 
    • Leather is a byproduct of the meat industry and even if you don't eat meat many of our animal companions do. Rather than let anything go to waste we stand by the First Nation tradition of using all of the parts of an animal if it is killed.
    • Leather is a traditional First Nation medium and our artist grew up using it since her parents are both registered tribal members.

     

    Materials We Avoid

    We are always looking for other durable yet compostable materials. We are following plant based leathers but at this time have not found one that doesn't contain plastic or resin.

    • Synthetic leathers (faux leather) when engraved release toxic fumes 
    • Acrylic when engraved also releases toxic fumes

    Made in Minnesota

    Raven King Crafts is a small business that actually makes all the wood and leather items here in Minnesota, USA. We try to make things that both serve a purpose and will bring years of use or enjoyment. Whenever possible we also try to use materials that are compostable which is why we have so many veggie tanned leather, birch plywood and wood items. 

    All items ship from the 55369 area code.

    Thank you for supporting a small business.
