All my products are tanned naturally using tree bark. This traditional method takes time but produces exceptionally high quality which is non-toxic. My tannery uses no chromium, no aluminum, and no synthetics.
The result is durable, water-resistant, and soft while the hair stays on.
They carries no scent.
-The Mission-
The Axis deer—known as the "Chital" in its native India—was introduced to Hawai'i in the 1860s. On Maui, Moloka'i, and Lana'i, the deer lack natural predators and their population has exploded, devastating island ecology. Native plants are threatened by their browsing, and coral reefs are threatened by the erosion they create.
After they are culled for food, I transform them into something lasting and beautiful.
