Collaborate with The Curious Tinker

We design and make practical, small-batch leather accessories for everyday use, outdoor work, and Faire. We’re interested in hearing from U.S.-based creators, independent reviewers, performers, gardeners, and practical-carry enthusiasts who have a real use for what we make.

A useful collaboration starts with fit: how you would use the item, what you would genuinely want to test, and whether we can make it well and on a realistic schedule. Honest feedback matters; we don’t ask for favorable reviews.

Examples from the workshop

Garden Glove Keeper

A practical place to keep gloves close during gardening and outdoor work.

Belt Key / Utility Keeper

Belt-mounted access for keys and other everyday essentials.

Fan Keeper

Hands-free carry for a folding fan, designed with Faire and event use in mind.

Skirt Hike / Skirt Lifter

A leather accessory for lifting and securing skirts for movement and Faire use.

What we’re developing

Stitchless leather pouches are in prototyping, and personalized workshop tool racks are in development while we validate our CNC production process. These are not yet ready for delivery commitments.
