Just got this in the mail the other day. It's a beauty.

If anyone is looking for a fine whip at a great price, I must suggest Giovanni Celeste. Check out his site:

Very "Indyesque" indeed. I like the look of the distressing, (though I prefer to do mine the old fashioned way, and just take it out and break it in!)

Speaking of Gio, (if you're reading,) how exactly are you doing your distressing? Dye? Shoe polish? Oils? What? Just curious.

Thank you very much for the kind compliments.
Regarding the "distressing", or "used look" I prefer to say, it's just how I love to make them (expecially the indy whips) but of course any customer can ask me not to give that "used look", it's completely fine to me.
I do it with the help of some appropriate leather soap and some techniques which I learnt long time ago and which are harmless to the whip.
Kind Regards
Gio
