Hey all,

My finished briefcase I started what seems oh-so-long-ago! Double compartment bag sized to a 15" MacBook, lined with pigskin on the inside flap. Off to live out its days in Belgium.

Cheers,

Andy

Spectacular! A briefcase/laptop bag is very high on my list of things I want to make so I'm grateful to get to see your artistry.

Amazing work! The front latch fits that bag perfectly and the back patch is great!

Thanks all! This one came out real nice... I had a hard time sending it away! I think I've come so far since my first bag, I kind of want to make a new one for myself (if I ever get the time!)

Some details shots added here.

Cheers,

Andy

This is really beautiful bag.

Can you share some details about the leather (veg tanned ?) or on the way you dyed it ?

From here it looks like veg tanned dyed and then used some sort of antique black gel ????

Thanks! It's made from some very nice veg tan; 6/7 for the panels and gussets, 9/10 for the main flap (skived down on the sides so as not too thick). I used Tandy's Pro Waterstain in Bordeaux and the antiquing is my tried and true sponge dye with black all-in-one. Oiled and conditioned with Neatsfoot and a little Lexol. Sealed with Resolene cut with 50% water.

I also cut the Bordeaux stain with water as I think it goes on too dark straight.
