About
I never wanted the same bag as someone else…
So I learned how to make my own bags and clothes, and this passion turned into Black Wolff Leather so I could share my expression with others! My grandmother is the inpsiration for what I stand for so I named Black Wolff after her coat of arms, the Wolff. We moved to Lakeside, California and my husband and daughter helped me build a leatherworking studio in the attic of our farmhouse. It looks out over our yard so I can watch our mini farm in action. At the moment we have a donkey, 5 horses, 2 pigs, 3 dogs, a cat, a rooster, and a peacock - follow my Instagram Stories @blackwolffleathershop to see what these little personalities are up to!

A while back I was approached by Shannon Craig for this interview and it’s still so relevant today! The only thing that has changed is I have the pleasure of supporting even more animal rescue organizations including the Wolf Center, where they strive to help wolves reclaim their place among California native wildlife, the Fox Center, and the San Diego Wildlife Center to name a few.
“Black Wolff Leather is evidence that—often—it’s the beauty of the natural world that adorns the body and breadth of a beautiful life. Generating delicate lines of crisp softened leather, and wispy, breeze-catching strips of buttery deerskin from the hardened hides, Criscuolo marries subtle with strong, natural with abstract. Convention and mass appeal be damned, Criscuolo is fine with chasing the spark of something else.”
