What “Appliqué” Means

Most leather bags are flat — the design is printed or pressed onto a single piece of leather.

But these bags are built differently. The most important details come from layering cut-out leather pieces and stitching them onto the body by hand.

Run your finger across the design — you can feel it lift off the surface. It catches the light from one angle, and disappears from another. It looks alive.

Skullette Appliqué leather handbag — the layered hand-stitched build process

(Here’s how each bag comes together.)

The design doesn’t get printed onto the leather. It gets built onto it — piece by piece, layer by layer.

Each shape gets cut out of its own piece of leather. Every accent, every silhouette, every fine detail. All hand-pieced first, before they ever touch the panel.

Then it gets pinned in place. (The pins hold everything still so the needle doesn’t slip a single millimeter.)

And then it gets stitched on. Slowly. One inch at a time. The industrial machine is the only modern thing on the bench. Everything else — the cutting, the placement, the layering, the patience — happens by hand.

By hands that have been doing this for years.

Ten designs in the collection. Each one carrying the Skullette signature — dark, romantic, unmistakable.

What You Need to Know

When can I buy?
Monday, Jul 13, 2026 at 10:00 AM ET. The cart stays open through end of day Wednesday, Jul 15 — or closes sooner if all 300 bags sell through first.
When am I charged?
At checkout, when you place your order. One $79.95 charge. No installments, no surprises.
How much will I save?
$100 off retail — every bag in the collection is $79.95 during pre-order, $179.95 after. The whole point of the founders’ price is the lowest these bags will EVER sell for.
What is “Appliqué”?
Most leather bags are flat — the design is printed or pressed onto one piece of leather. These bags are built differently. The most important details come from layering cut-out leather pieces stitched onto the body by hand. Run your finger across the design and you can feel it lift off the surface.
Why only 300?
Because each bag is built by hand, one piece at a time. We can only make a limited run this round. Once 300 orders are placed, the cart closes — even if it’s before Jul 15.
Can I cancel or get a refund?
Yes — while the cart is open (Jul 13 – Jul 15). Email cs@skullette.com with your order number for a 100% refund, no questions. After cart closes, your order moves into production and can’t be cancelled — but you still have 30-day return rights after delivery.
When does it ship?
Early October 2026. You pay during the event, we build your bag by hand, you receive it in October.
What if shipping is delayed?
If shipping slips more than 2 weeks past early October, you’re entitled to a 100% refund — even after the cancellation window closes. We’ll email you proactively the moment any timing shifts.
Can I get the $79.95 price later?
No. After Jul 15, the entire collection goes to $179.95 retail and stays there. This pre-order event is the only time these bags sell at $79.95.
What if my question isn’t here?
Email cs@skullette.com and we’ll get back to you. — Julie
