showoff Sharing one of our favorite recent projects.

A celebrity designer reached out to us with a special request: create a full set of custom leather patches to cover an entire duffle bag.

This piece is one of the 130+ embossed-and-embroidered leather patches we produced for the project. Each patch is made on genuine textured leather with precision embroidery to give it a raised, sculpted look. The details stay sharp, the edges stay clean, and the finish gives the bag a premium, handcrafted feel.

It was a challenging build, but seeing all the patches come together across every side of the duffle bag made the effort worth it.

Interesting idea and concept! Is there a picture of the finished bag anywhere?

How do you do precision embroidery? Leather is not like woven textile where embroidery thread goes through the natural spaces between weft and warp. With leather you actually pierce and weaken the material with each hole you make, so if you make your embrodery stitches too close together you're essentially making perforation lines where the leather can rip apart.

I going to throw out a guess and say there is a backing, like what you see on the inside of a ball cap after it's been embroidered, and since this is just a patch it's not really going to have much strain put on it.

 

It look pretty cool I would like to see it in white against the black leather. It would really pop and give it a heavy metal vibe.
