Grumpy Coyote Report post Posted March 20, 2013 Simple box bag w/ handle, for my girl. She didn't want a shoulder strap. Front and back are oil leather, gusset and accents are veg tanned. Wet-formed gusset to give it solid structure. All hand saddle stitched. The buckle is a braided lanyard knot over a wet-formed rolled toggle. Far from perfect, but ok for my second go at a bag...

DoubleC Report post Posted March 20, 2013 I love this, and really love the leather toggle. Might have to replace my 'stick' toggles with a couple wet formed ones. Thanks for sharing. Cheryl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dagcon Report post Posted March 20, 2013 I don't think she'll like it. Put in in a box right away and send it to me! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy Coyote Report post Posted March 20, 2013 I wasn't crazy about the fit and look of the knot, so I added a bit of whipping to tighten everything up and balance things out a bit. Again, not perfect, but it helped. She's happy, so I'm happy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WoodBoneAndStone Report post Posted March 20, 2013 Very nice! I often avoid the use of hardware, especially on rustic and renaissance type pieces. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwinOaks Report post Posted March 20, 2013 Very nice job on the gussets. The ONLY thing i see is possibly putting a turks head over the whipping....just to keep the theme consistent. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
