New in: Leather Handle Bag


Another bag - this time a handle bag. A medium sized bag made from vegetable-tanned leather, hand stitched and hand painted. 
But the original idea and design were my wife's, I have to admit that :)

This leather bag was actually quite a challenge, it took me about 15 hours to complete.



Here are some details:

New in: Leather Motorcycle Skull Bag

My wife has always been a huge motorcycle enthusiast, but I gotta admit - now I'm the one obsessing over motorbikes. Few weeks ago I sold my vintage 1961 NSU Pretis and bought a few years old Yamaha Bulldog. Best decision I've ever made!
This skull bag was actually a gift for a fellow biker and one of the first motorcycle bags I've ever made. 

Materials I've used:
  • thick vegetable-tanned leather
  • buckles
  • carving tools
  • leather paint

Skull design is my own and has been hand carved. The entire bag took about 8 hours to finish.



p.s. Sorry for poor quality of the photographs, but I still haven't bought a decent camera.

Handmade leather cigarette case

Again, my first cigarette case. Made from 100% real cow leather and hand stitched. The orange stone is actually a recycled necklace.

Handmade leather clutch

This is one of the first leather clutches/purses I've made since I started working with leather almost 3 years ago, a birthday present for my oldest daughter.
