Leather Craftsman Breaks Down 4 Luxury Bags 👜

[@Fatamerican1]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and inspiration.

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

Glad it was helpful Robert 👍

[@simondrew2914]

Among the ingredients of an excellent product, the story-telling of the inspiration behind it must be one of the most important. This has been most informative. Thank you.

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

You are absolutely right Simon, it really is crucial. Thanks for watching 👍

[@sedulousdabbler5468]

Passion, like craftsmanship, cannot be faked. My respect for your work, and your ethos, has deepened. Hats off to you for surviving your former career, it must have crushed your spirit.

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

You are absolutely right! Appreciate you taking the time to write that. Thanks for watching 👍

[@williamprespare4321]

Listening to you is a great distraction and informative video that is what is needed with all that’s going on in these times. Thank You very much.

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

That's great to hear! Staying positive and productive.👌 Stay safe William

[@macdietz]

Your work is a real inspiration for garage makers like me

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

Wonderful to hear Mac. Much appreciated and thanks for watching. 👍

[@OKWFRAN]

FABULOUS...

[@jagmortlock]

That Attache is just wonderful!

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

Thank you James. It is one of my favorite from the collection. Challenging and rewarding to make👍

[@erickgomez6075]

First of your videos I watch, 5 minutes in I had to sub. The value you provide with your point of view is amazing. Great work.

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

Thanks Erick. Great to hear you're enjoying the content. Welcome to the channel! 👍

[@lynnejury9999]

Impressive work and I love to hear the story behind them. When I looked at your attache case, I recognised the handle and immediately wondered if you had thought of Grandad! He'd have been so very proud as would be the four generations of Norfolk shoe makers that went before you.

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

That's very kind thank you Lynne 😊

[@heraroupa]

Thank you so much for this video Philip! I was stuck from making bags, but this video gave me the sparks again ☺️. 🤗🤗🤗

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

You're welcome Oni. That's great to hear you have new inspiration!

[@Dogvision4]

Super interesting to hear about your inspiration and how you translated that into different designs! Also, I adore that last bag- any chance something like this will be included in the course?

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

Possibly yes, or at least something similar as I sold the rights to that design.

[@user-a33kixd2wq44]

I love the design of the 1st and 4th bags. The natural neck texture of veg tan hide of the 4th bag is so stunning! Do you apply any finishing to that leather to protect water and dirt?

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

Thank you. Yes I make my own wax finishes, but there are many good ones on the market, especially Saphir products.

[@bazlur-Vancouver]

Like the attache case. Is that color called London Tan of Sedgwick? When I was young used attache(the company made) like American Tourister(old model and beautiful) and Delsey(bought in 1980) and now only use the backpack.

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

Hello. The colour is called London tan, the leather isn't from the Sedgwick tannery though.

[@TheeRealDuPree]

Can you explain more or do a video on the flipped bag/french (inside seam) & pipping technique displayed on the coffee carry-on bag? Thank you!

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

Hello. Yes, this bag is available as a video build along. 'The De Havilland Travel Bag' www.leathercraftmasterclass.com

[@martinevans8432]

I'm just starting out in leather craft. I LOVE this first bag. I'm going to get the basics and then sign up for a 6-month plan and make this bag! I would love to see you make a backpack - For example, I am in love with some of the Coach designs but I wouldn't know where to start in terms of creating a template influenced by them. Is a backpack something you are open to?

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

Thank you! Yes a backpack is currently being designed for a course. I can't give exact dates yet as I still need to prototype the design.

[@johndally7994]

Thanks for another great video. "If you don't have an answer as to why you are doing it, then perhaps you shouldn't be doing it." Well said. Do you ever use a sewing machine?

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

Thank you John. I only hand stitch as this is what I enjoy. Nothing wrong with using a sewing machine, just down to personal preference and requirements I believe. 👍

[@atelier_nilsson]

Nice!

[@dmdunn]

Are all these items completely hand stitched?

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

Yes, all hand stitched. This has always been my personal preference when producing fine leather goods. 👍

[@Mulgogileathercraft]

너무 이쁜 가방이예요😀

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

Happy you like them. Thanks for watching!

[@professor2202]

Thanks!

[@philipahn2602]

Do you sell any bags?

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

Not anymore. All of my time is taken up with creating online leathercraft courses. Thanks for watching!

[@karenkreisel9801]

What is the board called used in the box lid bag.

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

Foundation board
