Woven Wings Leather Patch with Pewter Centre Motif

Woven wings, a motif in the centre
A large 24.5 cm patch shaped like spread wings, with a woven pattern on each wing and a round in the centre. In that round we rivet the pewter motif of your choice, from 18 designs: Live to Ride, Lady Biker, Lady Rider, eagle, V-Twin engine, Celtic cross, Aztec calendar, mandala, skulls… Five colours: antique brown, white trim, red, black or natural. To sew on the back of a vest or a jacket, or on a saddlebag.

The pewter motif
Each motif is cast in solid pewter in our moulds, deburred by hand and given an antique silver patina. We rivet it to the centre of the patch in our workshop, straight onto the leather: you receive the patch ready to sew. Only the medium Lady Biker motifs (GRV65B and GRV66B) sit on a leather washer. The price follows the motif you choose: €40 for the patch, plus the price of the motif (€20 to €30).

Pre-punching option (+€5)
Sewing your patch on yourself, by hand, is the personal touch that makes all the difference on a vest. On a leather vest you also have to pierce the vest leather to pass the needle. With the pre-punching option, we punch the edge of the patch in advance, with a hole every 2 mm. The patch then becomes your template: glue it to the vest with leather glue so it stays put, pierce the vest leather through its holes, and both line up perfectly. All that is left is to sew with a saddle stitch, using two needles and waxed thread: it is the strongest stitch for leather, and you will easily find a tutorial by searching “leather saddle stitch” on YouTube. For machine sewing, the unpunched patch is better.

Made in our workshop
In our family workshop, since 1989, our patches are cut from full-grain leather made especially for Traveller Shop by a French tannery, then embossed. In the photo the relief barely shows: in real life the design stands out clearly, and the patch looks even better.
