Woodland bag/satchel

[Dreadhead]

Finished this today, tis for a customer overseas. a shoulder bag for his wife in my woodland pouch style. i used reindeer leather for the pouch part this time as the colour is just braw. the leaf flap is 4mm veg tan dyed with light brown fiebings oil dye. edge coated and gum trag'd. veg tan strap with brass buckle. and braided goat leather for the thongs with some chunky yew beads. all hand stitched with waxed linen thread too.

not turned out as well as i would have liked. was supposed to use d-rings on the bag but didnt realise i had ran out and pushed for time so improvised with some hoops i found. and really unhappy with the flap but all in all got it finished in time and this was my first time using oil dye which was fun to use as im used to water based dyes.

thanks for looking

lovely work mate. I recon the cord would look better in a complementary colour though like the thong on the left hand one.

i agree i originally used the brown suede thong but its weak stuff and breaks too easily. iv ran out of alot of things without realising but this goat leather is strong stuff and will do the job well

Beautiful work ! I reckon if you could get Victoria Beckham to see that & want one it would be worth a bomb ! Fashion is a weird thing that I will never understand.

i think your being overly critical on yourself there, as you'd say. it looks braw!
some skill you've got there.
