Got a gorgeous pice of english bridle leather in from Wickett and Craig. Took it to the shop to make this new leather bag for my wife.

That is a seriously nice tote. I think I'm jealous.

What color bridle is that?

The color of the leather was chestnut. Edited by fedd

Nicely executed.

I assume you machine sewed this. What weight of leather is it? Did you sew it inside out and then inverted it? That's one of the problems I find with working with this type of leather is if you need to invert it you tend to bend it a bit too much and it breaks up the grain (which isn't a problem after you use it for a while but doesn't look good when new).

This is a beautiful piece! I love the color and the way you did the straps.

I am interested in your sewing also.

Beautiful bag. Was it hand stitched or machine?
