TELLER vs SILVERCLAW Simple Guide
Both lines are made by me in the same Chicago studio.
Here’s a breakdown of the differences:
PRODUCTION METHOD
TELER:
Fully handcrafted using only traditional hand tools (no machinery: no sewing machine, no die-cut, etc.)
SILVERCLAW:
Same as TELER or a mix of hand-stitching and machine stitching. If the page states “From cutting to completion, each process is done by hand,” it follows the same method as TELER.
LEATHERS
TELER:
The leathers from the listed heritage-tanneries
SILVERCLAW:
Same as TELER or leathers from other tanneries. Heritage leather will be clearly noted if used.
PRODUCTION QUANTITY
TELER:
One-of-One or custom-made with material options (leathers, threads etc.)
SILVERCLAW:
One-of-One or made-to-order from existing designs with no adjustments. One-of-One items will be clearly noted.
Clarifications:
-
ONE-OF-A-KIND with heritage leather but stitched partially by machine → SILVERCLAW
-
ONE-OF-A-KIND made entirely by hand but with leather from an unlisted tannery. → SILVERCLAW
-
Made entirely by hand with heritage leather but produced in two pieces → SILVERCLAW
