| Sexy Skins Suede and
Leather Fashions |
Sexy Skins began as a brand of Leather and Suede Apparel geared to the biker world. Through our journey however, we recognized there was a need among all lovers of leather for apparel that is customized to each person's sense of style, and tailored for fit.
At Sexy Skins Leather Fashions we offer Semi-Custom leather apparel, as well as, provide a service where we work with clients individually to design and create one-of-a-kind Custom leather pieces; from bikinis to bridal, to pieces worn on, and off the stage.
We welcome you to the world of Sexy Skins where style is never sacrificed, and the love for leather and our craft is evident in each piece we create. And where customer service and satisfaction always comes first.

| The Power of a Rebel 250cc |
Some may wonder how a 300 pound air cooled twin engine could have enough
power to change the world. It can. It did. It changed mine.
My first experience as a motorcycle rider was on a Rebel 250cc and my life
has never been the same. I found the freedom of the
ride, and the courage to live my life and follow my dreams.
A whole new world opened, and with it, came new friends,
with new experiences, and leather.
I began my search to find leather apparel which was stylish, fashionable, and would fit
my womanly stature with all of my "curvatude".
I wanted to stand out amongst the sea of black biker apparel.
I also wanted to wear leather which was soft, luxurious, and would feel
like a second skin when out riding. Designs which would lift and support,
hug all my curves, and make me feel beautiful and sore with confidence.
I couldn't find it. So, in 2006, I founded Sexy Skins. And ever since, I have
been committed to the design and creation of leather fashions which impart
a feel-good attitude upon its wearer; designs which evoke a sense of confidence,
beauty, and empowerment. Women and Men, Young and Old, Large and Small.
Enjoy the freedom of the ride!

| Sexy Skins Designer,
Lisa Cantalupo |
Lisa Cantalupo is an artist, 3rd generation fashion designer, leather lover,
Mother, motorcycle rider, chocoholic, and graduate of Massachusetts College
of Art and Design where she was the recipient of numerous awards of distinction
such as; the Massachusetts College of Art and Design Award for Excellence in
Design, the Lord & Taylor Dress Design Competition Scholarship Award, and an
internship with Leslie Fay in New York City.
|
In 1991, Lisa made her professional debut at The Boston Designers Collaborative
Press Expo Fashion Show, showcasing her collection which ranged from swimwear
and sportswear, to eveningwear and wedding gowns. It was Boston's leading fashion
designer and BDC founder, Geoffrey B. Small, who said of Lisa's collection,
"very hip...very original, slick and elegant....tutto Perfetto!" and compared
her work to the likes of Romeo Gigli, Blass, and Moschino. |
But it was Lisa’s love for riding her motorcycle which awakened her
passion for leather. She purchased a few hides and designed a few pieces
which she wore to bike rallies and biker events catching the attention of
both women and men. |
Lisa has since then expanded with the design of a collection of leather accessories,
as well as designed and created custom leather fashions for clients such as;
Magic Dick from the J. Geils Band, celebrity motorcycle and exotic car builder,
Alan Lee, Motorcycle Mommas, and women and men from around the world.
Her latest endeavor will take her cross country to design and create the custom
interior of "Little Lambo", a twice burned Lamborghini that has traveled full
circle back to its original owner. It is quite a story. |

One can see that Lisa’s fashion design experience includes
achievements she can be proud of. If you ask her what her greatest is, she
will reply, her children. Nothing brings Lisa more joy and happiness
then watching her boys as they achieve their goals and dreams, while she is
blessed to be living hers.

The Sexy Skins
Made-to-Fit Line is when we take an existing Sexy Skins design and alter it to
fit you; your body type, and size, and then customize ~ you choose the type and
color of leather. Small changes to the design are included, therefore
we can close up the front to cover your tummy, change a cup size, cinch it here,
and tuck it there.
