Leather Designer and Artist Marianne Fellner

Marianne Fellner makes gear for riders that is flattering and functional. In her Tumalo studio known as Stellar Ranch, located just outside of Bend, she carefully crafts chinks, chaps and other leather treasures. Marianne's love of leather goes back to her high school years when she worked in little shops sewing vests and jackets. After careers in both graphic and landscape design, Marianne decided to return to her love of sewing. She makes her own patterns and her designs can come from her imagination or be a reworked detail off an old pair of boots. All of Marianne's pieces are one-of-a-kind that will guarantee years of fashionable use. Marianne can be reached at 541-318-6063 or 541-771-6660.
