Several retailers have expressed an interest in her creations, and her work will be featured in the 2000 Miss Ohio Pageant fashion show. Ms. Griffith's gowns are durable, naturally, but also designed to be comfortable. They can be made very thin. She has known some customers who actually enjoyed the feel of it compared to conventional fabrics. In terms of image, leather carries a lot of baggage.
Some people associate it with free-spirited bikers and youthful rebels.
But Ms. Griffith's creations look so elegant that they shatter the stereotypes. She says women who see her gowns see leather in a whole new light. Leather Legends specialties require a lot of work to make, especially the more expensive ones, with their extensive embellishments. Ms. Griffith can add lace, beads and sequins, just about anything that the customer requests. She can sew handmade silver ornaments into the gowns.
