Hi there fellow being, I’m Tatu, a leatherworking enthusiast from Finland who stumbled upon the hobby around November of 2022. I was looking for someone to make a leather playmat for a Flesh and Blood tournament but people were busy and I started wondering just how hard could it be to make one myself. Fast forward a month and I had ordered some basic tools, bought some cheap leather to practice with, and had my first playmat prototype in front of me. I found out I really liked working with leather and so a new hobby begun.
I founded Weirdling Gear in 2024 after a year of people telling me they liked my work and wanting to pay for it. I have great respect for people creating exquisite wallets, shoes and belts but those never felt like my thing, instead I love designing and crafting nerdy, geeky and kinky things. Since starting out I’ve made deckboxes, dice cups and bags, playmats, floggers and paddles and accessories with a kinky twist.
Weirdling Gear is still something I do on the side in addition to my day job but who knows where this might lead in the future. You’re welcome to come along for the ride!
