New surface finishes

Continuing our expoloration into surface techniques, we have been playing around with a variety of dyes on new hides, producing some unique results.

Introducing a new shade into our tie dye techniqe has added extra depth to our spiral zip boot.

Another new method we have been experimenting with is a scatterdye technique, which allows us to explore the leather as a canvas.
