The body is based on a Moynat pattern but shrunken to 87.75%. Changed handle to mostly turned edge and the closure from lock to strap. If I could redo it, I'd change the handle so no edges are exposed.

The little knob at the tip of the strap close is a brass double cap rivet wrapped in leather. The belt keeper loop was a bit roomier than I anticipated so had to add some balk at the end of the strap to improve closure. I didn't want to break the color scheme so I wrapped the rivet.

Friend asked for a rush order, and I had to use what I had in inventory to produce it, and just didn't have time to develop a brand new pattern.

Stunning look. Well done.

Unless you got the exact matching thread, did you colour after stitching? And how did you get that button effect?

Beautiful work.

I really like the round detail of the closing hasp. it looks great combined with the leather covered rivet you added.

As I was reading what you wrote I was expecting to see the "issues" you were mentioning. If you wouldn't have said anything I would find this completely flawless. You executed wonderfully!

Are the handle hold downs 2 piece or one? If they are one piece, How'd you make that happen?

Nicely executed!  Is that Chevre Chagrin?  Definitely a dose of red there!

I wonder if my friend is going to put money in it and give it to his wife as a big red envelope.

Close guess. It's a red Alran's Sully. I forgot to ask RML to split this hide for the wallets I make so it's been on the shelf for a few months. Wasn't sure when I'd use it, but as fate would have it.

@scrapyarddog Lovely color and a great design. Very nice work. Can you share what the inside looks like?

Hey thanks, the flap uses navy goat suede, the lining of the body is burgundy nappa + burgundy kidskin trim, the lining of the pocket is pink goat.
