NVLeatherWorx Posted September 21, 2012 Report Posted September 21, 2012 I can't believe that you can get $38,000 for a simple suede bag with plated hardware. Wonder what I could get for this one? http://www.highdesertleathersmith.com/index.php/my-projects-gallery/13-workbench-photos/2-western-classic-shoulder-bag-in-progress I made this one for my wife but figured that I would go with around $425 for it.

Members SoBag Posted May 24, 2013 Members Report Posted May 24, 2013 Neither can I but it would feel damn good selling one for $38,000 Quote

Members Cynthia Posted March 10, 2014 Members Report Posted March 10, 2014 I just want to say "thanks" for posting a link to this paper pattern. It helped me figure out a better way to make a winged gusseted bag a la the Celine Trapeze Bag that I adore. I am pleased with how my version turned out as I am still newish to leather crafting. I don't have a working sewing machine so I have to hand sew everything. This is my first post to this site. Quote
Members Fat Dog Leather Posted March 10, 2014 Members Report Posted March 10, 2014 Looks like you did a great job! Especially sewing by hand. I am also fairly new and can appreciate your efforts. I've been working without patterns and trying to disassemble and reassemble bags (on paper) as I see them......sometimes the results are on target but it has been a learning experience. Good luck and if we can put our heads together on some design delimas pls. give me a shout. FDL. Quote www.fatdogtradingco.com fatdogtradingco@yahoo.com
Members Cynthia Posted March 11, 2014 Members Report Posted March 11, 2014 Thank you FDL. Any input on a bucket bag type purse a la Louis Vuitton? I want the seam to be hidden on the inside. My next challenge is adding pockets to the inside lining before bonding outer and inner leathers together. I am no good at pockets but i love them for my phone and a strap for attaching my keys so they don't get lost in the bag. Quote
Members TRADERnel Posted April 2, 2014 Members Report Posted April 2, 2014 I think you did a fantastic Job.I'm notto your level yet I'm currently making hostessbut maybe one day . Quote
Members Mudruck Posted April 2, 2014 Members Report Posted April 2, 2014 Wait, wait wait.... is that a typo? $38,000.00 for a handbag? And Cynthia, I think your bag looks great! Quote
Members Cynthia Posted April 2, 2014 Members Report Posted April 2, 2014 Thank you TRADERnel and Mudruck. No, that wasn't a typo. Hermes sells purses for $38,000. And if I remember correctly, their Birkin bag still has a multi years long waiting list. Some people are still waiting to buy a Birkin while people like the Kardashian sisters own several. Quote
