LatigoAmigo Report post Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) I had to try it… so here is my first purse, a laser-cut version of the Hermés Birkin Bag. It’s really more of a prototype, as I’m still learning how the laser cutter works on different leathers, and, more importantly, how to execute good design. The leather used for the outside and inner pockets is top-grain “Red Dakota” cowhide (5-5.5 oz.), and the lining is “Designer Delight Dark Red” (2.75-3.25 oz), both from the Hide House in Napa, and the thread is Waxed Polycord from Maine Thread Company. The cutting, the lacing holes, and the engraving were done on a 100-watt, CO2 laser cutter, with the pattern created in Adobe Illustrator. Hardware is from various sources, and all stitching was done by hand. Edited April 2, 2018 by LatigoAmigo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bob Blea Report post Posted April 2, 2018 That looks pretty impressive. It's a lot of hand stitching. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
