Sea Turtle Edition - Spirit Totem Holster
Medium strap • Ultra limited edition • One of a kind carving
Here is a radical totemic holster/harness imbued with sacred and mythological symbolism. Resonant archetypes are integrated throughout this piece. The beholder can emanate intentions through their chosen totem. Significant elements adorn this holster, designed to assist the wearer in their personal embodiment of the principles depicted through this spirit totem.
Spirit Totem - Sea Turtle Medicine
• Ancient symbol of fertility, longevity and strength • Protective powers, guardian spirit and healing
• Will power and focus
• Ability to carry the burdens of life with grace
• Endurance and inner peace
Sea Turtle is an ancient symbol in many cultures. The Pacific Islanders honoured the turtles as guardians, utilising their shells and meat for survival on long ocean expeditions. Native American fables are said to consider Sea Turtles as carriers of wisdom through the generations.
The turtle was once thought to hold up Earth itself because it floated around effortlessly despite its great size! This means that turtles represent carrying our own world – body and mind – rather than worrying about what others think or how we stack up against others: focus only on how you feel inside not outside. Turtles teach us about ourselves; knowing who we are, without fluffing it up to sound better. They also symbolize not worrying about the opinion of others and just being comfortable in your own skin!

Holster features
Our holsters are created from the softest luxury quality fully dyed leathers. This ‘Spirit Totem’ has been made with genuine sheep and goat hides. We hand select each hide in small batches, meticulously scanning the surfaces to ensure the most beautiful and flawless finished pieces are utilised. Every holster is handcrafted with a base backing material to add strength and provide shaping, but also maintain the supple softness of goat/sheep which is thinner than cow hides.
Our technique of reverse appliqué, and the 3D embossed DNA spiral motif, creates an unparalleled level of sophistication in our holsters. We strive to meld function with timeless style to compliment your unique presence. The ‘Sacred G’ inserts combine into the overall aesthetic to super charge the vibrational field of these pieces.
All zippers are genuine YKK brass with the addition of custom casted pulls. We also have custom casted the grommet, sacred G inlays, filigree and half moon rings, all exclusively hand made for each and every holster we create.
The pockets are all fully lined with soft satin or cotton fabrics to protect your belongings. There are three small stash pockets and a total of five zippered pockets on each holster set. Two of the inner zippered pockets will fit a passport perfectly. The central back panel offers the convenience of a hidden pocket for discretely concealing any small items.
The unique custom brass grommets and half-moon (D) rings with lotus motif are to serve the purpose of being able to attach additional clips and chains to your harness to allow a more secure fit if you choose, the options are plentiful for hanging more amulets and embellishing to your individual taste.
We have also added the powerful Vajra symbol in luxurious embroidery directly into the leather on the backside panel of the pockets. This ancient symbol represents many things, such as indestructibility, and the nature of reality. Featured predominantly in Hinduism and Buddhism it translated as the ‘Thunderbolt’ or ‘Diamond’. A diamond is spotlessly pure and indestructible. As such, the word vajra sometimes signifies enlightenment, or the absolute reality of shunyata, “emptiness.”
Production process
Idol Wares' production process begins with hand-carving horn by a skilled 'master' named Made in a Balinese village.
Finest post-consumer water buffalo horns are selected, and only one Totem amulet is made from each horn, the remaining horn is use for other carvings to minimize waste.
Carvings are made to order, ensuring uniqueness and personalized touch for each product.
Water buffalo play a vital role in Southeast Asian agriculture and provide the strong horn material for intricate carving.
Skilled tailors from three main families assemble the holsters, with meticulous cutting, braiding, and stitching.
Idol Wares' team works from home with flexible hours, fostering a positive work environment.
Fairly negotiated work contracts ensure sustainable relationships, our workers set their own hours, not factory sweat-shop conditions. They receive substantially higher pay than the local median and have set their own requested contract terms in agreement with Idol Wares.

Each purchase represents a blend of artistic expression and ethical craftsmanship for discerning customers
