We recently got back all of our tanned back skins from our South Africa trip last year.

I would like to have a couple of the backskins from my girlfriends animals made into a purse for her, as a surprise.

Do any of you know a place that will do something like this? I find lots of rugging places but I need a place that makes quality leather purses with fur-on hide accents, that I supply.

Any help would be appreciated.

I have not utilized this company, but they appear to do what you'd like.

One thing to check is how and what method your skins were tanned with. There are different tans for these applications and some will not give you the quality that you want. If you are going to pay for custom work you want the best product you can get.

You may want to be careful about this. Some "Anti's" might go crazy on her.

Thanks for the info so far.

They were tanned at the wildlife galley using synthetic tan MP.

As far as the antis, I am not too worried about that. It wouldn't be an everyday use purse and would likely be used when we went to hunting/outdoor type events.
