Members Dave Richardson Posted January 14, 2016 Members Report Posted January 14, 2016 This is a small handbag I just finished up. Its 8x6x2 made from 10oz black latigo, open unlined interior with a mystry braid snap on handle. Fun project. Thanks for looking and comments are always appreciated. Quote
Members Colt W Knight Posted January 14, 2016 Members Report Posted January 14, 2016 Your simple handbag is way more intricate and complicated than the purses I make. I would like to see your not so simple bags. Quote
Members Chief Filipino Posted January 14, 2016 Members Report Posted January 14, 2016 Looks good! Is there a way to make your tooling stand out from the rest of the bag? Overall it is a really nice color but the tooling gets a little lost in all the black, unless of course that is what you were going for. This isn't quite so much a comment on your bag, as more of a general comment for my learning experience. Quote
Members MonicaJacobson Posted January 15, 2016 Members Report Posted January 15, 2016 Nice bag, I didn't realize you could tool latigo. Was it pre-dyed? Quote
Members Dave Richardson Posted January 17, 2016 Author Members Report Posted January 17, 2016 Nice bag, I didn't realize you could tool latigo. Was it pre-dyed? Yes its drum dyed latigo. It actually tools really nice. I have some bags and holsters out there well over a year and a half and the tooling still looks crisp. The trade off is its hard to get detail to stand out with solid black. I'm influenced by amish leather workers so I like the black and nickel. Quote
Members Wild Bill46 Posted January 18, 2016 Members Report Posted January 18, 2016 Nice Bag all around ! Being as it uses 10 oz. Latigo leather, and is only 6x8x2, How heavy is the total weight of this bag ? My wife likes leather bags, but, says they tend to get overly heavy ! Especially when lady loaded . lol --- Wild Bill46 Quote

Especially when lady loaded . lol --- Wild Bill46 Well I have never weighed one before....but I have now . This bag weighs in at 1 lb. We ride motorcycles and these bags are made for taking the basics along on the ride. The latigo is off 8 to 10 oz. Overall its not a full 10 oz. Thanks for looking... Dave Quote
Members Wild Bill46 Posted January 19, 2016 Members Report Posted January 19, 2016 Thanxx for your quik reply DAVE. We also ride, and this is exactly her point. Thanx for the info ! --- Wild Bill46 Quote
Members Grey Drakkon Posted January 19, 2016 Members Report Posted January 19, 2016 "Simple"? Liar! Looks awesome, and I rather like the subtle effect of black on black tooling. Quote

Thanx for the info ! --- Wild Bill46 Your welcome. I make a couple styles with riders in mind. You can see some here, baggerleather.com Let me know if I can help. Quote
Members Dave Richardson Posted January 20, 2016 Author Members Report Posted January 20, 2016 "Simple"? Liar! Looks awesome, and I rather like the subtle effect of black on black tooling. Thanks...i think. I called it simple because its three pieces plus handle, no liner, no pockets no zippers. Drum dyed latigo so no dying. Quote
Members Wild Bill46 Posted January 20, 2016 Members Report Posted January 20, 2016 Thanx DAVE , Now with your inspiration my wife says, Make her another. We'll call it "her bike purse" using your dimentions for trial. Back to purses I think ? But thanks for your help thus far .------ Wild Bill46 Quote
Members Wicked Welts Posted January 20, 2016 Members Report Posted January 20, 2016 I like simple, but in this case, I think I need the dumbed-down version NICE BAG! Quote
