fredk Report post Posted September 13 Today I spotted a woman with what looked like a 'tote' bag of unusual construction. From a distance it looked like a lot of leather 'jigsaw' pieces sewn together. I spoke to the woman and got a slightly better look at the bag - I didn't examine it. Not jigsaw pieces but squares, with rounded corners, of about 3 inches, in the middle of each side was a slot of about 1 inch wide, maybe just 3/4 inch. by about 1/4 to 1/2 inch, too big I thought. Through that slot ran a short strap linking two squares together. All the squares and straps were of different colours. Muted bright colours and mostly no two adjoining pieces were the same colour. There was no sign of anything else fixing the squares together, no rivets, no sewing. They were in fact quite loosely joined. I guess the ends of the straps were joined on the inside of the bag. The bag was lined with a relatively heavy fabric. I didn't really take note of the long grip straps which the lady had over her shoulder It would be a simple matter to have a die made to punch out these squares with their slots Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
