A pile of handles awaiting their turn.

…when it looks this good together, it’s pretty hard to resist. Just need all the matching luggage-type pieces for my imaginary rail travels (just watched Wes Anderson’s The Darjeeling Limited and admired the matching set of luggage the brothers were using!).

Remember back when I took you through all the steps needed to make my new bag for summer? Well, I absolutely love my shopper in cork with red veg-tanned leather trim. It turns out, others did too! We’ve made several, in many different combinations. However, we still have the original cork and red combination. Interested? Be sure to “like” us on Facebook to find out how you can make it yours!

A head-on shot of our newest computer bag, in a rich supple leather with removable shoulder strap. Now if only I can stop a certain song from playing over and over in my head…”they come runnin’ just as fast as they can…” Hmmm, once people get a look at this, they just might!

Gluing the handles on the computer bag so they are perfectly placed for stitching.

Here is the Cork Tote, like we made in red, but in a rustic brown leather trim. One has nickel finish hardware, the other an antique brass, as per the client’s wishes.

Here is a front shot of our new men’s messenger. It’s small yet roomy and made in the most beautiful, buttery soft veg leather. You really need to see, smell and touch this leather.

Here is a back shot of our new Men’s Messenger. It’s small yet roomy and made in the most beautiful, buttery soft veg leather. You can see the zippered pocket; it also has a couple inside pockets, one of which is big enough to hold an iPad. The shoulder strap is adjustable and removable. It has a tuck-lock closure.

The finished product!

And here it is. Finally! The red looks even better than I thought it would with the cork. And yes, that one in the back is different. I found a red strap with a crocodile print embossing that was long enough to cut into two handles and just enough extra leather to make one up. I like that red with the cork even better. So I’ve claimed it. Now, besides being quite light in weight, cork is as durable as leather, environmentally friendly and naturally water repellant.
