About UncommonElephant

Sales 663

On Etsy since 2016

Welcome to my shop. Uncommon Elephant is dedicated to creating hand-dyed leather covers in unique, one-of-a-kind artisan colors.

I have been bookbinding since 2005. For years my focus revolved around leather bound journals, books and recovering Bibles.

My journey in leather covers began when I could not find colors in the marketplace that captured my personal vision for beautiful hues with antiqued timeless patina. I wanted a brand new product but I didn't want a brand new atmosphere. Because of my bookbinding experience with leather, I knew how to manipulate the leather to achieve the aged look I was desiring. As an indie dyer, I am able to produce a truly unique and nostalgic product for others who are looking for that same aged appeal .

Uncommon Elephant offers a wide range of both repeatable and limited edition colors.
I offer 15 base colors for you to choose from. Watch my listings for limited and unique colors and combinations. I no longer offer the limited colors as options for you to create your own (outside of the 15 base colors). Please revisit my shop for regular updates on covers and colors.

Thank you for visiting my shop.

Happy writing!
Dottie
