The Tip is 'Ask family & friends' After reading the Big Secret I began to ask my family and friends about Made in USA products. It amazed me how many of them were already thinking about the subject. After asking the question all of us began to exchange useful information about where to buy Made in USA products. This was a huge help and now my entire family bring me containers with the Made in USA label on them. I record this information for us by Submitting our Secret to Made in America Secrets. Now we won't forget and next time we already know where to buy. Looking is now a family experience and our friends too are involved. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Barrett Alley Each Barrett Alley product begins with the selection of natural materials such as leather, cotton, linen, bone, glass, and vintage metals. We use US and Australian vegetable tanned leather and source limited supplies of antique fabrics from around the world for linings. Antique American bone buttons serve as our fasteners, and our waxed linen thread comes from Ireland. Dying Vegetable Tanned Kangaroo Leather Dying The vegetable tanned kangaroo leather in our Roo Collection is dyed in-house using all natural dyestuffs like Beeswax, Turmeric, Annatto and Walnut. Over time these natural dyes will fade and the leather will darken, creating a patina unique to each owner. These natural dyes are not colorfast, nor are they intended to be. Be mindful of crocking. Trimming the Devilish Wallet Cutting All Barrett Alley products are cut from vegetable tanned leathers and antique fabrics in limited supply, making each item unique. Our leather is cut by hand with a knife and pieces are trimmed to fit together perfectly. Our selection of natural textile linings are matched carefully to each leather product to provide the perfect classic accent. |
