Banwell Leather Designs: Fantastic Handmade Goods
Announcement
Hello! Welcome to our shop!
Banwell Designs is the original maker of modern, handmade, leather Plague Doctor masks and accessories as well as other leather costumes, masks and accessories.
In 2010, when most people had never heard the words “plague doctor”, Tom Banwell created his first plague doctor mask. He would go on to create 13 distinct plague doctor characters including the world’s first steampunk plague doctor character (creating an entire genre of plague doctor characters), and the first plague doctor mask to feature rivets instead of stitching. These characters have served as the direct inspiration for many of the pop culture incarnations of the plague doctor character now seen in television, film, video games, print, comics, and more.
These 13 characters and their accompanying accessories (top hat, mantle, hood, staff and pouch) have been featured in international museum exhibitions, films, and commercials, in music videos, and on stage by grammy award-winning artists, used as company logos, beer labels and more. Our designs have been imitated, remixed, and outright stolen so many times over that most any plague doctor content or character created post-2012 incorporates features created by Tom Banwell.

5 out of 5 starsBeautiful item, very satisfied. My only suggestion would be better communication from seller. Shipping label was created but never updated which had me thinking it was lost in the mail which happens frequently these days. Did not get a response from seller, than it just arrived !! It was packed very well. Very nice item 👏

4 out of 5 starsRed is an odd choice for the lenses, but the mask still looks pretty good.

5 out of 5 starsItem itself is fantastic! Shipping was mediocre though. Marked it as shipped but didn’t actually send it until about a week later and it arrived much later than anticipated.

CARING FOR YOUR MASK
The leather masks are quite durable. When storing them, keep them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. The worst enemy is water, as the masks will soften and distort when wet, so don't wear them in the rain, in the pool, or in the shower. Heat will dry them out and make the leather crack. No regular maintenance is required. If they become soiled, wipe with a soft cloth.
