so for christmas, some females and i gather for dinner and we exchange gifts. this year, i wanted to make something so i decided on a leather bag! i made 6 total; 4 for friends, 1 for me, and 1 for a giveaway (that will be announced soon)! it took a span of 2 weeks to complete them all and it was a lot of work. but they came out well, especially since they’re made by me, not a professional bag sewer! i’m pretty proud of them. they come with a detachable chain strap with a leather shoulder piece on the top. antique brass hardware has a curb chain and the silver has a snake chain, which i love! and was more difficult to put together however i managed! i kept this black distressed one (i like black, i like distressed). i will continue to make more leather accessories. next time, a larger one! i have this GORGEOUS hot pink fuschia suede that i am saving for a bag and some for part of a dress.. i can’t wait!
if you so desire one for yourself, you may purchase one here (https://www.etsy.com/listing/120628225/leather-purse-clutch-messenger-bag-with). great thing about it is, they’re made-to-order which means you can choose whatever color you like! just as long as it’s available and a proper quality for this style.
honey would you ever consider posting the DIY instructions for this project? That way a chick like me trapped in the countryside can have some style she upcycled from the thrift store?
