Formerly known as Brute Force Leather and Fallen Angel Fashions, we first started making corsets and costume pieces back in 1996 because there was so much badly-made, mass-produced stuff out there. We wanted to show the world that craftsmanship was still alive. Lately, our main focus has been steampunk clothing and accessories, simply because that seems to be our biggest seller, at the moment. However, we do still make custom fantasy leatherwork upon request. We've overcome flooding, knock-offs of our products, and a bad economy but after fifteen years, we're still here! Check out owner Thomas Willeford's book "Steampunk Gear, Gadgets, and Gizmos: A Maker's Guide to Creating Modern Artifacts" (McGraw-Hill), the best-selling steampunk how-to book on the market. http://www.mhprofessional.com/sites/steampunk/index.html
