Members Dave Richardson Posted June 15, 2018 Members Report Posted June 15, 2018 Finished this handbag for my granddaughters 16th birthday. I wanted something "cool" enough to use now as well as when she is older. Its cut from 8-9 oz latigo, measures 8 1/2 X 6 1/2 X 2 1/2. Open interior. Thanks for looking and comments are always welcomed. Quote https://www.facebook.com/dave.richardson.35977
garypl Posted June 15, 2018 Report Posted June 15, 2018 Looks good - I think she will be very pleased with it! Is that the natural color of the leather or did you dye it? Gary Quote Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4

Members RegisD Posted June 15, 2018 Members Report Posted June 15, 2018 Absolutely beautiful! Quote Handmade doesn't have flaws it's just built-in character.
Members corkscrew Posted June 20, 2018 Members Report Posted June 20, 2018 Very nice! Great looking lacing also. Quote CorkscrewTom
bikermutt07 Posted June 20, 2018 Report Posted June 20, 2018 It looks great. Quote 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. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
Members Wedgetail Posted June 21, 2018 Members Report Posted June 21, 2018 Nice! I reckon she will love it. Practical choice with the tuck lock too... i love using them, both for easy use and appearance. Which tannery did you get the dark brown latigo from? I make a lot of latigo dog collars and leads, but am pretty limited to either black or burgundy. Though I do see Wickett and Craig has some in various colours. Quote
