I live in copenhagen so that tannery is to far away to stop by. Do you know if you can order from them

Yes You can. Write them an Email and ask for a price list and how to Pay your order. I doubt they accept paypal or credit cards.

If you order from them, take the first grade stuff. It costs a bit more, but the leather is really good (in my opinion)

The dye job on the leather looks very nice.

What technique did you use to dye the leather ?

Any chance you'd be willing to share the pattern, please?

Yeah sure. As soon as I have time I will draw up the pattern. Right after I finished it i had a baby so I am pretty busy :)

Thanks.

I use markers from molotow with a 250ml bottle. This is a picture of the marker without the bottle:

This is the bottle

It is very easy to apply the dye this way and the mess is minimal.

I clean the leather with some leather cleaner i have. I think it is just acetone / rubbing alcohol.

Then I apply as much dye as the leather will take. Then I buff and apply dye again.

Beautiful Case! Make sure you put some business cards inside, so when folks ask where you got it, you can proudly tell them and give em a card.

May God Smile on you today.
