If you want to skip the intro and just get down to business, simply click on any of the images above, or look at the left side bar to peruse what whips are available for sale by custom order. Or you can check out the upper right corner in the right sidebar to see if there are any items available “off the shelf.” If there are, just click on the photo and it’ll take you right to the post with all the details.
HOW TO ORDER A WHIP: All you have to do is send me an email at desert.minx@mojaveoutliers.com, and we’ll have a discussion regarding the details of your build, at which point I’ll enter you into the build book. Right now I’m accepting orders for my July/August 2025 build queue, meaning that if you order sometime in the next few days, I’ll have your build completed by no later than the end of August.
Typically I don’t require payment up front or a down payment, rather, once I complete your build, I’ll send you photos and a PayPal invoice to your email. I will also accept checks or money orders. Once the invoice is paid or the check/money order clears, I’ll ship to you! Easy peezy!

I’ve been building kangaroo leather whips for over a decade–really beautiful, heirloom quality kangaroo leather whips. My repertoire extends the gamut from sturdy and dainty to lithe and elaborate, in a variety of different styles (naturally I have a number of photos here on my website, and LOTS on my hard drive if you’re curious for something that you don’t specifically see here). This is HUGE FUN, friends and neighbors! I love the creative outlet whip building provides, and I particularly enjoy all the people I meet! If you’re considering having a whip built for you, please don’t hesitate to send me an email at desert.minx@mojaveoutliers.com, and I’ll answer to the best of my ability any questions you might have about the build process, style, colors, etc.
Each of my whips is lovingly hand-crafted to exacting standards, and, so long as you don’t actually use them to break beer bottles, they will provide you with years of enjoyment and satisfaction.
As time allows, I build the odd item on spec, in which case it’ll show up in the upper right corner in the right side bar–you can click on the photo to get the details, and there’s also a link to each item (if any) on the left sidebar menu.
All my whips are made of kangaroo leather from, of course, Australia, and so can be trusted to provide durability as well as a fine aesthetic quality that stems from the sleek but yielding strength that kangaroo hide is famous for. Such whips almost have a life of their own in terms of responsiveness to your hand!
Finally, one of the things I find I always want to know when I’m looking at someone ELSE’s website (usually a leather vendor, lol!) is WHERE they’re located. So I thought maybe I’d mention where we are located here on our site. Currently Mojave Outliers proper is located in Springfield, Oregon on the west coast of the United States, although we split our time between here and Meadview, Arizona–in the middle of the most beautiful part of the Mojave Desert–hence the name, of course. The main reason we’re based out of Oregon despite our name is that the economic climate is a lot more friendly by FAR for a small business than in Arizona (and California, right next door, is straight out of Douglas Adams!). Nonetheless, we’re desert rats here at Mojave Outliers, just we’re adaptable, right?
Enough! Take a look around at each of the pages, let your imagination hang loose a little, ask a few questions if you like, then tell me what you want and we’ll get busy! If you DON’T know what you want, don’t worry, I’m happy to help you decide.
