Have you worked with suede lace?  The trend to make knotted and simple bracelets includes the use of leathers.

For this simple bracelet I used some of this purple suede.  It is thick and easy to design with.  I didn’t have instructions.  I have been experimenting with so many knotting techniques that it was fun to try and figure out how to make something without a pattern.

To complete a simple project you really don’t need tools.   These additional embellishments do make the bracelet look extra pretty though.  Many leather artisans tie simple knots for closures.  I preferred to use these nickle swivel clips.   I also added these hammered pewter beads.

I use a wooden hand to help me decide how much leather I need.  A little extra silver wire helped to make my ends look polished.  I think this could be worn by a man or woman.

The colour options are fantastic!  The suede lace collection is linked here.
