The Bag With The Lines NFS
The curves on the lid, contrasting the straight sides, with a bit of fancy stitch (the gunslinger pattern) for good measure… heck yes. Chuck in a bit of mystery plait and it’s all my favourite things.
Rumor has it I sketched this one on the back of school reports I was meant to be proof reading, at school during a planning session.
I designed it around fitting my Frank Green coffee cup so I can be hands free AND caffeinated. Two very important things.
It’s made out of the most devine leather I got from a garage sale of all places. There was a barrel of leather - body in the barrel type of barrel - and it was FULL of beautiful sides of leather, too full to look through but I could see a couple of different big pieces of Sedgwick bridle leather sticking up so I took a gamble and bought the barrel and it paid off.
Being for myself, the bag has neutral thread with brass hardware. The square buckles were salvaged off a really old dead stock bridle I was given incase I could use something off it… the buckles are gorgeous. And I love that they’re different to (and better quality than) most other buckles in circulation atm. I didn’t fully polish them up bc I quite like the patina.
The strap is a 3 piece construction so it is symmetrical with mystery plait sections on the front and back.
I started this bag in Winter 2024 and finished it January 2025, you can’t rush a good thing!
