Whew, I can see why a lot of things cost a lot. And then it breaks my heart when inexperienced sellers come in and post a product at a price that breaks the average and plummets the worth of my product. But they better have raised the animal they made that cute skull vest out of and tanned the hide themselves (hide tanning is a lot of work) to charge that much for a cute little vest  I didn't like the girl one myself. |
The vest was not leather it was micro suede.( fabric). I know what it takes to do beading and sewing etc. . . I did costuming . .. for people. Elaborate gowns and mens attire. We researched the time period. With a friend of mine we make a period Elizabethan gown with standing ruff and cuffs. I hand beaded the lace and the dress. I have done Italian ren and many other periods.
