Hi everybody, 

I am new to this forum and been for 16 years a leather crafter.

I am from France but living in Vietnam with my wife and kid for the last 10 years. I have co-founded a shoe and leather good business here in Saigon. 

Glad to learn and share what I know on this forum. 

Cheers,

Alex

Welcome to the forum.

We would love to see some of your work.

I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with.

Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day.

I don't have much to post. I do this for a hobby and haven't made a lot of stuff yet.

Here are some wuta pattern wallets I've done.

Hi here is some of my work. These last few years I have mainly been into small leather goods and I have also recently launched a pattern store for the leather crafters (I am progressively adding more styles) and a Youtube channel

Cheers

What type of dye did you use on the belt mate . and how did you apply it .

 

Dyes are from Kenda Farben an Italian leather finishing product company. The dye is applied with a piece of foam.
