HEADS (& WRISTS) UP!





Are you in need of a headband to tame those bangs you're trying to grow out (again)?  Is your naked wrist itching for a bracelet to adorn itself with?  If so, we've also got headbands and bangles!  The headbands have pretty brass findings at the back, and the bangles are wrapped in waxed linen thread for a pop of colour.  Unlike the pouches and clutches, these guys are done in thicker (non reclaimed) leather. 

Thank you so much to everyone who has commented, posted about, joined our mailing list, or reacted enthusiastically to our project!  We're looking forward to launching our online shop in the next couple of weeks, but in the meantime we're pumped to unleash these guys this weekend at A Handmade Holiday! 

Danielle bought a hide of amazing grey leather the other day.  What does that mean?  Post holiday sale production plans are already underway!  Full steam ahead....

BRANDED.


I wanted to share our awesome business cards and packaging that Sandi just created! I'm in love- how could you not be? I have a soft spot for paper goods and this stuff actually has my name on it.  

Also- we're inching closer to getting our online shop launched and if you're interested in finding out when you can buy Falconwright goods in internet land, you can sign up for email updates over in the sidebar -->

THE TIME HAS COME.








Introducing Falconwright - a collaboration between Sandi Falconer and Danielle Wright (more info about us in the post below).  All items are made from re-claimed leather in Toronto, and each one is unique.

This is a peek at our first collection of small leather goods: clutches, change purses, and a few more things on the way!  Eventually we might expand our horizons to larger items, but for now you can rest assured knowing that you'll never lose change to the bottom of your bag again.  We're still making things and taking care of details, but we're pumped to have stuff at two upcoming events: A Handmade Holiday & City Of Craft!  Find FW stuff split between each of our respective tables (Deadweight & Caboto).  After the holiday fair season ends, we plan on setting up a shop for all you out of town web surfers in the house too.

We'll continue to blog about what we're making, our process (making messes), events we might be participating in, and maybe even things we both like (like mustard and pretzels, or cool shit we see on the web and wish we could buy?). Thanks for checking this out!

MEET FALCONWRIGHT.


Falconwright is a collaboration between Sandi Falconer & Danielle Wright.  See how our last names combine to form one singular handle full of medieval mystery?  This is a photo of Danielle and I on Halloween.  If it's not obvious, we have a great time together, so it was only a matter of time before we extended that relationship to making stuff.

Outside of this frightening pumpkin/ghost union, Danielle makes leather goods and gorgeous necklaces (Caboto) and I design and screen print a variety of paper goods (Deadweight).  And now we've joined forces to bring you a line of handmade screen printed leather goods!  The cat is officially out of the bag.  Meow.

My weapons of choice for this collab: pattern making & screen printing.
Danielle's weapons of choice for this collab: product design & sewing.

COMING SOON.
