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.
