With regret, there is no wholesale from StavenCraft.  Here is why:

1) The Leather Artisan pays full retail for all materials, individually selecting everything that goes into these works by close tactile and visual inspection to ensure the use of nothing but top quality materials. No seconds or irregulars are used which would adversely affect each individually crafted piece.

2) Each and every limited edition or custom piece is made by hand, one-at-a-time.  Each and every creation requires the effort of many hours of labor on the part of the artisan, who does all of the work, instead of merely slapping down a design on paper and then allowing unpaid apprentices the dubious privilege of providing all the labor.

This should be remembered:

Things that are mass-produced look mass-produced, and never reflect true creativity, or the spirit and individuality of the client.

I strive for top quality, with a desire to capture the unique wants and desires of the client, not quantity.

These works are the result of a love for leather, and an almost fanatical devotion to detail, quality and a touch of fantasy.

I make every piece as though it were going into my private collection.

Indeed, sometimes it is very difficult for me to let go of some of them.

Please do not belittle the artistry, or the artisan, by demanding bargains.

Thank you.

Kurtis Staven
