Members Handstitched Posted September 11, 2018 Members Report Posted September 11, 2018 That bag has ' restoration ' written all over it Ditto to the above. A good dose of oil, even re-colour it if need be to hide any scratches, discolouration etc. . But to cut it, and the others up for something else ? Nup Restore. heres a pic of a bag I restored and sold. HS Quote ' I have a very gweat friend in Wome called Biggus Dickus, He has a wife you know, do you know whats she's called?

The one above I already cut up, but I will think about it some more before doing any more cutting Quote

Members battlemunky Posted September 12, 2018 Members Report Posted September 12, 2018 Wow, super great save on that bag @Handstitched! Quote
Members ScoobyNewbie Posted September 12, 2018 Members Report Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) Did you get a pattern of it? It looked like a really good pattern. Oooo! I love the chains on the strap! Edited September 12, 2018 by ScoobyNewbie Quote
Members Alisdair Posted September 12, 2018 Members Report Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) I've seen people make very nice watch straps out of old leather "bomber" jackets. Edited September 12, 2018 by Alisdair Quote
Members bullmoosepaddles Posted September 12, 2018 Members Report Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) Nice old bag. Hope you find a good use for them. Edited September 12, 2018 by bullmoosepaddles Change content Quote
Members Handstitched Posted September 12, 2018 Members Report Posted September 12, 2018 G'Day and thank you for your responses, ByNelson , I do appreciate the differences in market demand. These old bags get snapped up real quick here. But I hope you're able to restore maybe at least one of them and love to see what you'll do with the one you've cut up . The old leather has a lovely natural aged colour. There maybe enough leather for a nice purse , wallet or a clutch bag just looking at your pic.

HS I will try to find a project for the leather that will work with the nice patina it already got. I really appreciate all your help and ideas. Kind regards Sarah Quote
