Top quality craftsmanship

Zuma:
Quite niffty ;)
I was wondering about the flap.
Does it have to be so big?
Is it that big for conforming the look (lines)
or the need to keep the satchel closed.

Hi all

Thanks for the positive feedback. For the questions on the design or template: I don't have a template .. had it drawn on paper as a sketch in small format.
I did make a second version, but then horizontal. And dyed the leather brown this time. See the pictures attached.

I believe that maybe from the pictures you guys can figure out the design by yourself, it isn't very complicated. I will draw a basic shape of the leather and upload it without measurements. At least then the basic design will be clear.

@Zuma: the flap size.. it is big isn't it? No functional reason. Guess I was influenced by designs of classic 'messenger bags' which tend to have large flaps.. I think it suits the design.

Let me know what you think of the second bag on the additional pictures.

Be well,
Marcel

Knotty:
Ok, I want that second one 😍😁
