Making a Leather Toiletry Kit
One of the things we've wanted to make is a simple, high quality, luxury toiletry bag. We've started to design one out of leather, and our idea in making a toiletry bag (or dopp kit) is that it looks like a small piece of luggage, not something you'd simply pack away. We Started with our first sample design by taking notes from our tool bags, and translating that design into a smaller version of a leather bag to be used as a toiletry bag.
The design is fairly simple, but has some important details. all hardware is solid brass, so that it will not be effected by water. The side pieces are fully stitched so that no small pieces of kit can fall out, and the fold in the side pieces allow the toiletry kit to seal shut without bulky flaps. We've also made sure the dimensions are large enough to fit long things like tooth brushes and shaving supplies, but not too large so as to not fit in carry on luggage :)

Very nice. I like your build approach, systematic and organized. You guys never fail to produce inspiring content. Thank you! Hope this year exceeds ALL your expectations.

That is a sweet bag

Every time I watch you on a video I can't get over how x-acto you are with that x-acto....love your work

[@pilesofpoodles4954]

I would love to know how you knew the stitching holes on the man bag would align to the gussets. In your other "bag videos" I believe you glued both pieces together and then punched after. These bag videos are among my favorite, interesting to watch the work flow ;)

[@eerht33]

Piles of Poodles I was going to ask the same question. It’s something that I’ve wondered about with some of my items (I’m just a hobbyist). It would make everything easier if I knew how to do that because trying to use the chisels when glued together is a super tough angle.

[@lukelarsson]

Same.

[@EmeraldRubyTea]

Dude knows how to make everything!

[@geirahoed8382]

Omg, last week I was literally thinking that I need a new one! Gonna make me one next year 😎✨ Happy holidays to you all ❤️

Craftsmanship of the masters. When I put on ma leather I made, and rock to sum Metallica, Delta Parole, Foo Fighters or the Smashing Pumpkins I feel like I can do anything in the whole wide world.

[@Satine_Moisant]

I thought, "I could make that one!"....then when I saw all the specialty tools and machines needed..."Who am I kidding?". I would love that with a strap as a super-cute purse!

[@Corter]

All it takes for specialty tools are a set of stitching chisels :) You can do the rest with normal hand tools - give it a go! It's a super fun hobby

[@grzegorzmakarski8867]

I Thought, "i could make that one!"... then i saw that there is no pattern for it so my machines are useless :( ...

@Seth York yeah "my own size"... but what is my "own size" when i dont know the ratios of sides etc?

@@grzegorzmakarski8867 you could build it out of paper to figure out the dimensions. I do this all the time when making designs.

[@jimathey6153]

Excellent 👍 job as always ✝️⚾🙃

[@gall_blader_works]

How you lined up the stitching holes of the gusset and exteriors is pure wizardry! What's the secret? Were the number of holes counted on both pieces? Thank you for always sharing your makes. Happy New Year to all at Corter Leather & Cloth

[@Corter]

yep! a rough count, then usually a couple extra punches at the end once it's all glued up

[@gall_blader_works]

@@Corter Thanks for the reply. And I guess you simply trim off the excess. May you all be doubly blessed

[@imaneelkhaldi1743]

Perfection once again! Dude i love your videos! Xo

[@Gallucci271159]

Linda. Belo trabalho.

[@jstudios2698]

Great video. How do you make sure the prepunched holes in the gusset will align with the holes in main body? Particularly in the curved area. Thank you 🙏

[@ai5085]

Carl Zeiss lens as a template!? Not expensive?

[@behemothinferno]

How do you center a punch on a dot? Do you just eyeball it from experience? Would be nice if they made a tool with a small spring loaded needle to index it on the mark you made previously to get it perfectly centered each time.

[@Corter]

basically just eyeball it when we're making samples like this. In patterns we'll put the hole in the pattern and trace the outline with an awl so it's centered

[@osvaldobignotti6277]

Buen día mi nombre es Osvaldo soy de Entre Ríos , hace un tiempo vengo siguiendo su canal y me parece muy bueno el trabajo que realiza , mi consulta es la siguiente yo estoy empezando y me gustaría si es posible pasarme las medidas para poder dibujar ya que no cuento con impresora , como también si me puede orientar en que medidas de cuero o vaqueta es recomendable realizar dichos trabajos, entiendo que por alguna razón algunos no dan información , yo estoy buscando por que acá en mi región no enseñan marroquinería desde ya muchas gracias y espero respuestas.

[@tabeajo6015]

Oh that bag is so nice! I got a book about leather crafting for Christmas so I see that as a sign to go for it! :) what kind of leather do you use and would recommend to start with? And which thickness?

[@nusberg9300]

Вы очень хороший мастер!!Очень аккуратно все шьете!!!Все что Вы шьете очень нравится!!Покажите пожалуйста как Вы делаете шов,шьете одной иглой?!!!!Сделайте видео о том как шов делайте одной иглой!!Плиз!!!!!Спасибо!!!!

[@ishhanian]

How hard is it to get into leatherworking? I mean, how much experience would I need to replicate such a project - can I just go ahead and try it out or I'll just ruin the leather? What do you guys reckon. Thanks in advance.

[@hideteak9098]

It's as easy as making your mind up. You certainly won't replicate this by not trying... :)

[@zhukoff07]

Cool 👍👍👍

[@inthekitchen8842]

Where did you learn your trade/craft? Amazing.

[@rickr9055]

I guess I am going to have to learn how to skive if I am going to keep making each of your projects. That isn't a bad think, I have just never tried. Any suggestions about how to get started?

[@Corter]

grab a decent skiving knife and just start practicing :) Make sure to be super, super careful and keep your knife really, really sharp. Start with oily hides first to get the movements down, then you can move to drier tannages like the natural veg we're using here - that's usually the one I have the hardest time with. I just can't stress enough to be careful, make sure your fingers are always behind the blade!

[@406Montana]

Question: I've noticed that you'll oil your leather and apply Aussie Conditioner. Is that all you do to the leather, or do you apply a coating of say Tan Kote or similar products?

[@petterohman1080]

Beautiful! What kind of plastic do you use as absorber when you punch holes?

[@ginaaerts5590]

Hello, I am starting to do some leather craft (my first real project was your wallet without tools!) and I was wondering: what size and type of leather you are using? I love your videos which I find very calming, passionate and just mesmerizing! Watching these made me more interested in the art of leather craft! Thank you very much for the work and the passion your share! Greeting from France

[@Corter]

Hi! this is 5/6oz Herman Oak Natural Veg Tan, there's a link in the description to purchase some if you'd like!

[@maggierb520]

Corter Leather Thank you! I will check it out^^ Last question -hope it doesn’t bother you- what kind of leather will you recommend for beginners?

[@Corter]

just anything cheap in the tannage you're looking to work with - that way you can practice a lot and it'll be affordable. Don't worry about getting super nice clean hides for a while until you're confident in your new skill :)

[@carswatchesandshoes3629]

How much for this bag?

[@박용건-b3e]

베리베리 굿잡! ㅎㅎ

[@susanjoynersnodgrass9766]

Do you sell kits that we could make items with little to no skills? If not that would be awesome. Something a family could do as a weekend activity together.

[@Corter]

We've been developing them for a few years now and they'll be available in a couple months! We've had hundreds of people test them from 8-80, they're super super fun :)

[@Bootbitch]

I get such a kick outta watching you use your Japanese skiver upside down. You make it work! Lol

[@AdamDone]

How do you ensure your stitching holes line up when punching the main body and gussets separately? I always lose alignment in the corners.

[@hotbocho65]

That is one nice toiletry bag I need one like this so when I travel I may take my personal belongings. (Deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrush, cologne).

[@irennikol9989]

Hi. I used the link for patters you give here, but unfortunately, there isn't a pattern for this toiletry bag. Where can I get it, please?

[@xunilpenguin]

Thanks for the video.. great design, even with the marked leather it's a pretty little bag. two thoughts: 1 - oh the dust you are getting on that lens! 2 - Landis? What kind of machine is that? Does it compress the fibers of the leather, kinda pre-burnish? It didn't look like it skived the leather.

[@MrThumper1440]

That was a leather splitter......used to make leather thinner.

[@nourahmed2983]

[@kooky216]

i don't anything about leather but shouldn't there be a finish applied?

[@Corter]

you can if you'd like! I like to use my stuff untreated and let it get all patina'd before using any conditioner :)

[@TJ-cm6pc]

If you wanted to dye this, at what step in the process would you do that?

[@luevelvet8910]

Is there anywhere we can find the pattern for this?

[@deirdreh1892]

Hi I love watching your videos and would love a bag and matching wallet embossed , do you have a shop ? Happy new year 🥳 all the best for 2020
