Hi gang,

I made a backpack for my girlfriend and ended up making something very similar to a Japanese Randoseru bag!

I love the result despite many small errors along the way. Made with 1,4mm thick vegetable tanned leather, dyed with Fiebing's Oil dye in walnut and hand stitched. Do let me know what you think =)

A job well done that man :) nice looking finish - you can achieve a nice mottled / grain pattern almost effect using antique gel but I really like what you did and the pattern is lovely.

 

Cheers

Hahah thanks Harvey =)

I must admit that I was quite bummed out half way through dying it as I was certain I was failing miserably at achieving the result I had in mind and that I was ruining a very nice piece of leather! Glad with how it turned out in the end.

This is one coat of the gel (Eco-Flo Gel Antique Saddle Tan) unevenly applied to plain leather with a rag - a similar kind of look. Keep up the good work

Wow!

The bag looks great and you did a wonderful job with the video.  

You really put a lot of thought into the process and I have a great deal of respect for that.  

I am sure that your girlfriend is thrilled with her new bag!

Thanks for sharing ... looking forward to seeing more of your work!
