Durable Hide

Durable Hide, situated in the heart of Talon's Rest, is a leather crafter's haven where the artistry of the trade comes to life. The exterior of the shop boasts a quaint facade, with a bull motif intricately carved into the wooden sign that swings gently above the entrance. Large windows showcase an array of leather goods, from finely crafted garments to sturdy armor sets, enticing passersby to step into the world of Durable Hide.
Upon entering, the rich aroma of cured leather envelops visitors. Shelves and racks display an impressive variety of goods, each piece a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the leatherworker. Rolls of leather in different hues are neatly stacked, and tools of the trade, from awls to stitching needles, are organized with meticulous precision.
The workspace itself is visible through an open doorway at the rear of the shop, revealing a bustling hive of creativity. Workbenches are strewn with leather scraps, patterns, and the tools of the trade. The air is punctuated with the rhythmic sounds of hammers and the occasional hum of enchantments being woven into the materials.
Leatherworker: Elara Swiftwing
Elara Swiftwing, the skilled artisan behind the Durable Hide, is a halfling with a boundless passion for her craft. Her hazel eyes sparkle with enthusiasm, and her auburn hair is often tied back with a leather thong, revealing a pair of pointed ears that twitch with attentiveness. Elara's fingers, calloused from years of meticulous work, dance across the leather with a grace that belies her diminutive stature.
Dressed in practical leather attire, adorned with tool pouches and adorned with intricate trinkets crafted from her own goods, Elara is a walking testament to the quality of Durable Hide. A feather quill is tucked behind her ear, ready for impromptu sketches or notes on new designs. Rumour has that the remarkable feather, with bright jewel tone colours, was gifted to Elara by a friendly Lillend Azata.
Elara takes a personal approach to her work, often engaging customers in lively conversations about their preferences and needs. Her expertise ranges from the creation of custom-fitted leather armor for adventurers to exquisite leather garments for the city's elite.
