Leather purse

--- Quote from: Ian on 2014-05-29, 18:39:18 ---Thank you Sir Aiden. I've been making all of these for my own kit, so I have yet to sell any pieces. I really have no idea what they're worth. I could tell you what similar pieces sell for by different merchants, but the ones I'm trying to emulate obviously have a lot more experience than me and thus provide a cleaner more finished product.
My goal is to create items without historical compromise, or at the very least with only unavoidable historical compromise. I would always be willing to provide documentation to justify a particular design or construction method if available. All of my leatherwork is completely hand made and thus not 'machine-perfect.' The designs I use are based on historical examples. Purses are one of those areas much like shoes, that you really can't find a historically designed one on the mass market without paying a lot. The closest ones to historical designs are by Lorifactor that I've seen.

I would choose hand made any day, plus it creates a more personal value to it. That's one of the reasons your pieces are so marvelous, its as accurate as you are capable of getting them. One thing I noticed is that you have a very keen eye for things. It can be seen in your pieces and photography.

Very well said. Any product that is handmade will have slight imperfections that make it perfect.
Ian:
Dyed oxblood. A few coats gave it a deeper richer hue.
Sir Martyn:
Looks great, Ian - where are you getting the buckles from? Also, going with linen lining?

Yes to the linen lining. This will not be buckled.
