These little guys are cuffed with real mink fur. At this time of year I go to thrift shops to look for fur coats, collars etc. for the baby mocs. Usually the collars or what's known as a 'stole' are not attached to a coat so they may be relatively cheap but it's getting harder to find real fur [ it's become politically incorrect to wear ]. The prices range from $20. for baby size, $40 for youth [ age 3-10 approx.] then $60. for ladies' and $80. for men sizes. I only put fur cuffs on youth & adult if asked. They get beadwork from time to time as preferences vary. The tops of the vamp on the larger ones shown here are raw edged. Other leather work includes: beaded edged change purses $5. ... sm. fringed pouches $20. [12cm -20cm long; 9cm-12cm wide] ... I think I showed one earlier. Conchos and beaded fringe also varies; rarely are any the same as parts of the hide I've saved to do the front 'flap' makes each one distinctive. I've always preferred a natural look wherever possible.
