Testing out a few more patterns

I tried tanning two more patterns on leather for pockets inside a bag or maybe exterior one day. Also the last photo, I took the one of the tanned pieces and made it an interior pocket for one of the totes I am making.  More photos of the tote when I finish the bag.

Sun tanned pattern

before

after
I tried tanning a pattern on raw veg tan leather the other day. I used tape to mask of the pattern and then took it outside for a tanning session. The 2nd photo shows how it looks after the tan and after removing the tape. Thinking of using it for an inside pocket of a bag and or the outside of a wallet. Going to try out a few more patterns. Keep posted for more!

Clutch bag



I made this clutch/bag the other day. It can use it as a clutch or pull the leather cords from the interior of the bag and use them as handles. This is a working prototype with some minor adjustments need to be made.  I will be making another version with different color combo. Also, I can see this in a larger shoulder bag and/or cross body bag form as well. Keep posted!
