Clutch/purse I made for my girlfriend

[datdraku]

Italian 2 mm and 1 mm leather used, Tan color and diluted chestnut higlighter (I think) for the lighter one. Cutest thing I've ever accomplished.

That is very well executed!

Very nice

Very nice! You'd better be careful...that girl is going to want to snag you permanently!

Well, now you've done it... She'll expect that quality and effort for every gift from now on!

Should've given her a gift card for makeup instead, to keep her guessing whether it was sweet or self serving =p

I think I'll stick to the things I know how to do:))) the makeup could get me in trouble

With your leather skills you could have a line of women queuing up... albeit for handbags...

 

Really nice work.  Its a pleasure to see fine craftsmanship..Did you use anything to stiffen or strengthen the leather? I have never made a bag and wondered what goes in to it..

 

Cheers

Thanks!

no stiffener, it stays by its self, the 2 mm veg tan is pretty stiff
