Hi Everyone
First off thank you all who contribute to this site i have been reading as much as possible to learn and learn i have.
I have made two small projects for myself, but now im taking a leap and making my daughter a satchel with a difference and was wondering which leather to use i have only used veg tan leather and done some bad tooling and got some cheap leather to do a dry run for the satchel..
hopefully the pictures turn out ( hard to write and design on a train i can tell you)
The satchel is double gusseted, one gusset will have zips either side because inside this compartment will hold chef knives i want the bag to open out for easy access. Will i need to reinforce the bottom of this side too....
So back to the question i have found these leathers which one would be best.. (ps i am in the uk) or send me in the right direction...

thanks jazzman
good to know was thinking of skiving the edges but like you said getting thinner gusset is one less thing to do for me. decided pre-dyed for me just have to be told what color my daughter wants now..
