Exceptional work! Very well done

[@AtelierSANGBLEU]

Thanks a lot!! I'll do my best on the next vids as well!

[@aabsharaskari]

Great and neat work yet again 👏 👍 👌

[@AtelierSANGBLEU]

Always thankful to your comments! Really gave me so much strength!🙏🏻👍🏻😉

[@FloydBaragwanath]

Great video. I would love some videos on basics of leather work. Tips and tricks. Love your craftsmanship. Very high quality 👌🙇‍♂️

[@AtelierSANGBLEU]

Many thanks, I'll consider more tutorials ☺️

[@TheRedbeardster]

Excellent work! Keep it up!

[@AtelierSANGBLEU]

Thanks a lot! I'll keep it up!🤗

[@keatman]

Today is public holiday and I spent the time to watch all of your videos

[@AtelierSANGBLEU]

It’s an honor! Hope your time was well spent and had fun with my videos🥹🙏🏻

[@joshdotblack]

This is almost exactly how Hermes create this kind of strap, the attention to detail is incredible, nice work!

[@AtelierSANGBLEU]

It's an honor to hear that my artwork is almost exactly same with Hermes works! Thanks a lot, I'll keep it up! 🙏🏻😉

[@louisgianfrancesco]

It's actually better because they machine stitch the straps up until the point of most stress (lugs). Plus the edge finishing isn't anywhere near as nice as Sang's.

공유패턴으로 따라해가면서 볼 수 있는 영상이 있으면 좋겠어요 🤩 올리신 동영상 모두 다 잘봤습니다

[@AtelierSANGBLEU]

항상 감사드려요! 요청이 은근히 많은 느낌이어서...재능은 없지만, 초보자용 패턴디자인 고려해서 뭔가 간단한 기초 튜토리얼을 구상해봐야겠습니다🥺😭

Thanks a lot🤗

Beautiful! Yes please on the tutorials 😊❤

[@AtelierSANGBLEU]

I gotta try some basics of them! 😉

[@Ari-ei6lg]

Yes please! Some tutorial videos!!

[@AtelierSANGBLEU]

Not good at teaching someone but, I should try to teach some basics soon!

[@jisy1937]

I'll be grateful to see (and learn) how you make a classic bifold wallet. There's many videos of bifold wallet making out there but very few for luxury bifold wallet making. It would be nice to know of the reinforcement material used, the leather thickness, the lining, etc and the extra steps needed to make a fine leather wallet/goods.

[@AtelierSANGBLEU]

I agree with that lack of class or info about the luxury leather goods out there. Everyone just doing some bulky/ lugged designs and mass-production methods with hard reinforcements and fabrics inside. So I really struggled for several years with the method French Lux brands use, and I've developed mine based on them. I think this is a really valuable asset of mine. So I tend not to describe it all in vids currently. (but actually, so many know-hows are revealed already on my vids) But maybe one day, I'm planning to do some tutorials about this as well🥺

[@MacBookAir-cu4fb]

This is absolutely incredible and TOP NOTCH quality! My question is what this kind of work would cost me to buy from you! ;P

[@AtelierSANGBLEU]

Thanks a lot! You can DM me on Instagram for your inquiry🤗

[@Lutherman_edc]

MOREEE give tutorial pls haha, and btw what brand pricking irons do you use and what spacing??

[@AtelierSANGBLEU]

We will consider the other tutorials in the future:) That was custom made tools with no brands. (Unfortunately, we do not reveal technical & design-related things related to our original designs. Plz refer to the *Note on the description, sorry🙏🏻)

[@markthompson2960]

This is lovely work. I have been watching g your videos trying to pick up some tips as my hobby is leathercrafting. Could I ask where you get your Veledon as I have found it I possible to to find on-line.

[@AtelierSANGBLEU]

Many thanks. Unfortunately, we do not reveal the companies that we are dealing with, sorry🙏🏻

[@user-ke7yc7ym8o]

언제봐도 디테일이 정말 감탄 나오네요 ㅠㅠㅠ 저 궁금한 부분이 있는데요! 스트랩이나 카드지갑 같이 작은 소품은 바느질 마감할 때 라이터로 태우면 뭔가 실이 탄게 보기 안좋아 보이는데.. 어떻게 마감하시나요??

[@AtelierSANGBLEU]

실에 따라 마감은 달리하는게 보통입니다, 사용하시는 실이 합성사(폴리사) 라면 불에 바로 타기 때문에 라이터로 마감을 많이들 하시지만, 천연 리넨사를 사용하는 저희나 여타 럭셔리브랜드들은 라이터로 태우는게 아니라 소량의 본드를 이용해서 마감합니다;) 제 예전 영상들 잘 찾아보시면 항상 본드마감을 하고 있다는걸 찾으실 수 있으실겁니다😉 에르메스 아티잔 분들 영상 찾아보셔도 많이 보실거구요🤗

[@niytrus]

I have watched this video so many times over the past month, it has been so helpful on my own journey in making watch straps. I do have a question, what product do you use (shown around 3:18 in the video) to stick the paper template to the leather without damaging the surface of the leather? Thanks again for such a fantastic video.

[@AtelierSANGBLEU]

Thanks a lot, we use the normal double-sided tapes. But it always needs to be tested on articles if that is not harmful to the type of article we use.

[@khaganimammadov8981]

Very nice work. It would be great if you share your tutorials and we have opportunity to buy your patterns.

[@AtelierSANGBLEU]

Not prepared yet, but I should do the pattern designs since many people wants the patterns 👍🏻.

[@alexscrol1979]

hello. beautiful handmade. what kind of gray board are you cutting on? does it blunt the tool?

[@AtelierSANGBLEU]

Thank you. Just a normal cutting board that does not blunt the blade, but blades should be cared by sharpening anyways even if we use the cutting boards like one of these😉

[@narimanmussayev2561]

Great work! Could you share what the brand your pricking irons from?

[@AtelierSANGBLEU]

Thank you for the comment😉 For the pricking iron, unfortunately they were the custom made tool and not available now😅no brand or something, and I lost the contact info of the artisan who made them😭

[@dylancaesar3614]

man i wish you would make a tutorial for atleast watch straps itll be awesome explaining all the tools and tricks just for us to get into leathercrafting

[@AtelierSANGBLEU]

Actually, I was planning some tutorials here but, I found that not much audience was interested in my tutorials by the last tutorial video 😅 Maybe when many people want the tutorials again, I'll consider the videos for that soon :)

[@kvwg5922]

It would be extremely nice if you share some bifold card slots making techniques! I’ve tried to make square fully lined card slots like you do. With a lot of skiving i got the edge that i like, it’s flat and sharp. But right behind the edge i got really bulky part where the bottom of first and second pocket layers on each other. Is there some tricks to avoid that? It’s really annoying😤

[@AtelierSANGBLEU]

Oh, I just wanted to try some really little basics for the tutorials. I'm not planning to teach about the exact methods of that kind of extremely high-level technique yet but only the basics 😭 Bottom of 1st/2nd pocket? I'm not so sure where is that bulky part but why don't you just skive them out as well?? if you can achieve the thin layers already, I think you can skive them out as well!😉

[@kvwg5922]

@@AtelierSANGBLEU Thank you sir! I’ve meant the bottom pocket and “belly” that grows thicker due to layering the square pockets on each other even when skived. Skiving them wider will cause the leather flesh side visible inside the pocket. Hope i didn’t confuse you, my english is not that good as i’d like it to be🙂

[@MrMadvillan]

Looks likes non tapered? If so, I really dislike this trend, but I suppose it’s as inelegant as the large watches popular today. It’s also not as challenging to make a straight cut than a taper. I’m currently working on a strap for a vintage JCL a friend has. It’s has a 18mm lug width, 14mm buckle, incredibly delicate, difficult to craft. Would love to see something like this on the channel.

[@AtelierSANGBLEU]

As we don't get the strap orders anymore these days, another strap-making will not be uploaded soon. Oh, this strap has tapered measure but really small difference between the lug and the buckle;)

빨리해주세요!! 엣지코트는 무슨 제품쓰시는지 알수있을까요?

[@AtelierSANGBLEU]

국내에서 구하실 수 없는 제품인데, 독일의 Stahl제품 중에서도 프랑스에서 유통되는걸 수입해서 사용합니다. 열마감을 원하시면, 가장 쉽게 구하실 수 있는 이태리의 Uniters를 추천드립니다. 저도 가끔 필요한 부분은 Uniters도 사용합니다

[@V3leathercraft]

Superb 👌👌🙏🏽... So much complicated... Is it 11SPI? THICKNESS OF LEATHER? 0.8MM? WHAT'S THAT CUTTING BOARD MATERIAL?

[@AtelierSANGBLEU]

Thanks a lot for your comments! Not so sure about the 11spi unit again...😭 Generally, I kept the total thickness around 1.8~2T when it comes to the straps. Cutting board was from Japan and have no info about the materials😭

[@tottletottle127]

Is that a mable? Are you think skiving on a marble better than a glass?

[@AtelierSANGBLEU]

That was a marble, not much difference with glass but I used them for more visibility on the video 😅 as it has the white color contrasting to the leather.

[@tottletottle127]

Oh I see. Thank you for the answer. 😁

Beautiful work and superb designs. However I find it {almost} amusing that the person(s) posting the video says "Do Not Copy [the designs]" but scans and copies the original work of others, and uses a copyrighted name as part of a video title to generate more views (yeah, the Hermes wallet).
