    A pair Of dark havana cases

    From the album: recent work no. 2

    A single pocket briefcase, and a 2 pocket scalloped briefcase, both in Sedgwicks Dark Havana. Both entirely hand stitched. Love this leather, but very difficult to photograph, so as to show the depth of colour, my workshop lighting really 'flattens' the colour

    Hi, I have been using Sedgwick's leather care recently, and am very pleased with it, both to 'revive' older' leathergoods that have dryed out, and to treat newer items. It does not seem to mark the leather, whis is a problem with some products, but as always, try out on a part of the item first, see http://www.je-sedgwick.co.uk/products/leather-preparation-care/original-leathercare/#more-244 All the best, simon baker casemakers

    Traditional Top Framed Briefcases

    From the album: simon baker casemakers, recent work no 1

    Hand stitched Top Framed Brief Cases. I had an order for one in chestnut bridle butt for a GP doctor to carry all her equiptment in when visiting patients. But, because I had not made one of these for a number of years, I made the green one to check my pattern. They took about 30 hours each, but I am pleased with them.

    Traditional Underarm Folio
    Hi KS, thanks for your comments, but I can't claim to have thought of this first. I do mainly traditional work, with a little twist but aiming for 'perfection' of construction and form, if thats not too arty. all the best, simon

    Ladies small Brief case or hand bag

    From the album: simon baker casemakers, recent work no 1

    Not to be left out, this was made for the wife of a good client in Seattle. 10" wide, all hand stitched, made with Sedgwicks conker bridle butt, a joy to work with. Has pen loops and pockets inside, and came with a detatchable shoulder strap, and a wee strap that clipped onto a D ring inside, to hold a key ring safely.
