The armor is cool but I am a bag man and I love these.

Great looking work DENEKEN, the armour looks like a lot of time went into it. What type of leather did you use for the softer part of the bags? it looks quite nice.

Thanks all

I spent nearly 1 day on armor.

I used a leather like "suedes", soft and tough.

I love the bags and the armour!!!

My son's have been working on some armour and changed their design several times. If they ever finish it, maybe I will get to post a pic!! lol

Good job Deneken!!

I really like these Deneken.

Can you take a picture of the bag with the flap open so we can see under it. What shape does the soft portion have to be cut to in order to make these?

Is the armor front and back one piece? I don't see a seam but the hanger may be hiding it.

Thanks,

And "aumoniere" opened with patterns :

Is there a specific date or location attached to those bags?

Great stuff Deneken!

The flap on the last purse really cught me on and love the plastron. Clever use of the stamps makes it looks just fantastic

Nice and rich colours too.

The firsts "aumonières" haven't specific date, but the rectangular is based on fabric "aumonière" of 15th century
