Brown Bear Leather Goods

16/02/2021

Finally finished the rounding and sealing of the final batch of a special project. Honestly have to say I understand now all the kickstarters that run into challenges post start of the project. Shipping lockdowns, tannery closures, hardware blockings, suppliers sending one sample and shipping something else, everything was seen these last few months.. But now the light at the end of the tunnel is visible! Full steam ahead!

Hey everyone!
It has been too long. I really missed this.. For those still following, thank you 🙏
I wanted to give an update on whats been going on. My main line of work in Dubai is Hospitality and since the October, Dubai has had the good fortune to be absolutely packed with travelers. This meant that I have been absolutely swamped with work and these past months which lead to both personal and professional struggles.
Still, for me 2020 was one of the best year of my life so far and it taught me to value time and personal passions a lot more.
Im happy to say that I am starting to get my work life balance under control and with that I will be bringing some new life into Brown Bear Leather Goods!
Now the news:
Card wallet is under way and I am looking into workshops that can replicate my model at a reasonable rate so I can actually bring them to a lot of magicians worldwide 🌎
There will be a new leather coming for the Coin Pouch as an option. I have went through so many leathers and found some that would be just amazing with the coin pouches. Stay tuned!
The shop has expanded like hell! 😅 I have actually expanded the shop to other magic and Im proud to say that is now the biggest Magic Dealer in the UAE and soon the Middle East! 😁
Finally, I have something big coming. Before my card case I decided to make a smaller project a reality and I am happy to say that I have given it my all. I can not say anything yet on what it is, but I hope to bring you one of the highest quality items you have ever seen.
Now there is a lot of work to be done and a few promises to keep so better get to it 🙈
If you read this far, thank you once again! Your support is what fuels this project and my passion. It is much appreciated 🙏

Update: So the design of the Bear Necessities Card Case – Rogue Edition is finalized and I just got the cutting dies made for it. Also thanks to all your support, I managed to get a nice little press to make the cutting process way faster. This cuts a good hour+ off of the production time. Still a painfully long process tho 😝
Now the last step is choosing the right leather for it. American leather withheld the test of heat, cold, humidity and beer spillage, but it still is rough as hell so will try two more in Apollo Dakota Leather and French Saffiano Black.
I know I promised to throw some prototypes on the site at a bargain price, and I will do it as soon as I get at least 5 that I’m totally happy with. The construction ended up being a bit time consuming and I really want to make it reasonably priced so trying to find a few short cuts.
Thank you as always for your support!

Hello friends! Currently getting close to ironing out the last problem of the card case, however though to share with you something neat.
These are Bear Bucks 🐻
A few people mentioned that they wanted something to muffle the juggling in my pouches in case they carry a smaller number of coins. I always fill them with styrofoam disks for that but thought that these might just be a bit nicer 😁
Some of them will be numbered and these unique bucks would be added free to orders of over 100$ as a small extra token of my gratitude. Those who have placed such orders in the past can expect to get something in their mail in the coming weeks 😉
Im heavily invested in a few big projects which I hope to share with you soon. I know its dragging a bit but this pandemic as well as the RnD process is proving to be harder than expected. Now I understand why every Kickstarter I ever backed got delayed 😅

Not many things give me more pleasure than giving back to the wonderful magic community which I have grown to love over these past years.
To be able to share my work with someone who has been a great inspiration for me is a truly special treat!
Thank you for the stellar feedback and the fantastic shots!

The weekend was super positive so thought to share something fun I did a while back. Not close to what I see some of the beasts among my followers do but I promise to keep at it 😅
Jerry’s Nuggets are available in the store.
I’ve added also some rare decks from my collection to the shop. Think that some collectors might be interested 😎
Just got the final leather that will go onto the Bear Necessities Card case and will be making them the coming days. Stay tuned, there may be a drop of prototypes at a bargain 😉
Have a great weekend everyone! Much love from Dubai!

Had some additional colors come in recently for another project and thought to add them as an option for the Bear Necessities Coin Pouch.
Now available on the site in Black / Yellow and Black/Burgundy 🧛🏼
The background of these shots is made up of two magic books by the same author. Can you guess which one? 🤓
Stay tuned for the stories tomorrow for the right answer 😁

Hey guys, here is the latest prototype of the Bear Necessities Card Case🙌
The model with the small sharpie will be called Rogue 🗡 😁
A lot of refinement went into this one to minimize seams. Card pockets have been added and solid brass zippers used.
Now just a few more tweaks, prototype of a full sharpie model, purchase of the leather to be used for it and you will see it drop on the site 😁
Honestly now I understand why people do Kickstarters. Would make this sooooo much easier if I could get all I need all at once 😅
Can’t wait to share this with the magic community!
Special thank you to everyone who has bough a Bear Necessities Coin Pouch! You are the ones who are making this possible 🙏🙌
Like and share and comment if you guys and gals dig it 😁
