Thanks all, so much for the wonderful information I'll use this informationa as a starting point for more research.

Please check out the above video showing some of the process of making the Leica - Hermes bag at 0:09 --> What are they doing? Is it just bevelling the edges? at 1:20 --> Something is being brushed on the edges of the leather, followed by application of heat. What form of burnishing is this? I am used to seeing traditional wax / gum trag burnishing (lots of rubbing). Hope to get some advice from the gurus here. Its my dream to make something as high quality as a hermes bag. THanks!!

anyone have a link to a machine that does that kind of coating? Im trying to make wallets and wouldnt mind getting one of those machines that give that kind of coating... Definitely looks more mass produced than a hand finished edge, but suits my purposes. I attach a picture of a card holder that I have that has this kind of "rubberised" coating. Its actually quite flexible, so it stands up to folding etc.... I've tried googling for "rubber edge leather finisher", "rubber edge coating machine leather" and various permutations of resin etc. Can't seem to find the relevant search term... Many thanks all
