Making HANDMADE cardholder in Alligator Leather

Designed & Handcrafted by SANG BLEU
"Design renewal, 4cc businessman cardholder Alligator version"
This artwork was a bespoke order from one of my customers.
Made out of Special type Chevre & HCP Alligator leather and the Initial stamp + renewal design stamping option was added.
All of the leathers that are used and the way of making this luxurious leatherwork are the same as the French luxury leather brands.
No cheap fabrics were used and no bare flesh sides have remained on the backside. All of the parts are fully leather-lined and it is not an easy process to achieve the linear slim thickness between several layers of leather. This is one of the reasons that French luxury leather goods are expensive.
Feel the quality :)

Beautiful work, as always. The filming, editing, CC commentary - all of it - just breathtaking. Korea must be in some sort of Renaissance for leather work. You're one of a number of really talented artisans, working entirely by hand, from your country. I started leather work over the Christmas holidays - I've been teaching myself how from videos such as yours. Thank you. - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi

[@stevezytveld6585]

Quick question(s) - what type of tape do you use to attach the acrylic templates to the leather? Is that the same type that they sell for sewing &/or quilting? Are you using a temporary glue to keep the templates from sliding over a leather with stretch/texture? Are you using 2.7 mm pricking irons, and what brand? Do you use water soluble glue or rubber cement?

[@AtelierSANGBLEU]

It's an honor to hear that I'm one of a number of really talented artisans! It gives me a lot of strength💪🏻🙏🏻 I'm not sure which kind of tape is for sewing & quilting but, what I've been using for patterns are just normal double-sided tapes! But to prevent damage to the leather, I always weaken the tapes before sticking them.(tapping with suedes) Typically, I use #12 irons for small projects which are not quite easy to get nowadays 😅(Vergez Blanchard still produces this, and some Chinese brands produce this from time to time) It was custom-made iron and I have no idea about the brands or artisans currently. There are no rules, you can just use wider irons and design the patterns to suit your irons 😉 I use water based non-toxic glue from Ecostick😉

[@kirkhering2309]

Wonderful work, your precision and results are inspiring. Two questions if you have the time. How do you make your acrylic patterns, laser cutter possibly? Do have a preferred brand of electric creaser? Thank you.

[@AtelierSANGBLEU]

Thanks a lot, We design our own products, and the patterns you saw were our original designs.(We have been dealing with the CNC company in hear and we've been easily ordering our designs from them.) And we use ADECE for the creaser.

[@federicoalvarez8039]

Impeccable, and inspiring, absolute beauty. I love your channel, and look forward to see more of your work. It would be nice to know where do you source your leather? I'm sure that the stores would be happy to make a deal with you, and we would also have a discount code with your name, so it's a win-win-win. :)

다른 댓글에서 제품의 디자인이나 소재에 따라서 가죽의 두께를 달리한다고 하셨는데 그럼 가죽의 두께에 따른 가장 안쪽 포켓 부분의 가죽과 가장 밖의 악어 가죽의 위치 오차는 기존의 패턴과 달리 추가적인 작업을 더 하시는 건가요?

[@AtelierSANGBLEU]

댓글 감사합니다, 위치오차? 기존의 패턴? 이런 부분이 어떤 말씀이신지 잘 모르겠지만…. 디자인에 따라서 테스트를 해보고 두께를 모두 달리 적용하는건 맞습니다;) 국내작업하시는 많은분들이나 저가 브랜드들에서는 필요한 강도보다 더 카드보드같이 단단하게 보강하면서 가죽작업을 하는 경향이 많은데, 고급으로 올라갈수록 가죽 본연의 부드러운 촉감을 살려서 어느정도 늘어나고 줄어들 수 있되…제 역할을 하는 강도는 유지하는 두께를 찾아서 디자인+제작을 합니다:)

Love your work!! May I know the thickness of the chevre you use? Thanks

[@AtelierSANGBLEU]

Thanks a lot for your interests!🤗 Unfortunately, I decided not to reveal all of my detailed thickness😓 People frequently ask that kind of informations but, they need to understand that there's no rules for the thickness and should test them for their own designs. Thickness always differs from designs and functions, you need to test them for your own designs. Mine as well, always have different thicknesses as per the designs and type of leathers. If it is not revealed on my videos, I will not reveal them for now! So, please understand this, and start test them out for your own designs😉

Hello, amazing and beautiful work of art! What tools were used? And what finishing did you use on the edges of the finished siding?

[@AtelierSANGBLEU]

Thank you, We use some custom-made tools and French tools that most of the French luxury brands are using. Edge was finished with the Edge paints.

How much do u charge for meticulously bifold wallet?

[@rz3159]

Great video as always😊 may I ask how you give that glossy look to the edge paint??? Is it by rubbing wax onto it or do you apply the glossy top coat??

[@AtelierSANGBLEU]

Thank you for your comment! As you can see in the video, there's no glossy top coat. if the top layer was well leveled and properly ironed with heat, the surface would already be smoothened with a little bit of shine. On that finishing, I coat the beeswax and polish them a little bit more with the canvas. that makes more smooth shine on the original edge ;)

[@rz3159]

@@AtelierSANGBLEU thank you so much for answering!! Edge finishing seems so difficult, how many layers of paint do you usually apply?? Do you sand and iron every layer?? Also do you bevel edges or keep them flat before applying paint?? Sorry for so many questions😬

[@AtelierSANGBLEU]

I've already revealed all my finishings on my videos all the time, there's no edge bevel. Typically the bevel is used on Veg tanned leathers and commonly used on Japan/ US style of crafting which tends to remain raw finish with the bulky thickness(I think they love the raw/ rugged feeling of the thick hides). if the leather is too soft and has irregular flesh with thick thickness, that could be over 10 layers. Some hard edges with regular flesh with a thin thickness could be easier to get to the perfect level and would be done within 5 layers. Totally depends on the situation we got, there are no rules. That is the reason why I don't want to talk about my technical things saying this is a bible of how it goes... I just want you and people to make their own ways suitable for their situations and needs. Hm... Maybe if I do some basic tutorials, I'll cover a little bit more on that but, that would not be the bible of leathercraft either.😅

How can I order? I went to the site and there was no products. Can you please let me know.

[@AtelierSANGBLEU]

Since we only take bespoke orders one by one and do not deal with ready-made or mass-production products, we get the orders directly from our customers. (Renewed Item pages are under construction) You can request bespoke with the DM on Instagram or you can mail us through our web showroom’s Contact Us page:)

[@hugoflores-xo9zq]

Can you tell me the price please. It’s ok here, I want to know also if it’s the same price as the one you made on green with the inside on red.

[@AtelierSANGBLEU]

This is the alligator version and the one you saw in green was the Full-crocodile version. As exotic skins are really rare and expensive materials, the Full-coverage version has a much more higher price. For more specific info, you should request quotations through our web showroom’s Contact Us page.
