Kudu hide messenger bag

[plingboot]

Here's a pic of a kudu hide messenger bag I finished recently. Hand stitched and riveted. 

Kudu is a fantastic material to work with. It's very soft and flexible, but tough as old boots too. Ideal for a messenger bag type design, but not really suitable for more structural brief case projects.

Great job.

Looks like a very comfortable bag to shoulder! And very durable leather. Even though I'm from the land of the kudu, I've never worked with kudu. I've got a full, tanned, hair on gemsbok hide waiting for me that I've not yet decided what to do with. Maybe something like this, but it will be a challenge to tackle it as a hair on build.

Nice design there, good use of materials
