Moose in the Forest | Leather Shoulder Bag

The little red moose was done by cross stitches. The cover of the purse was cut by following the original edge of the leather hide that added interesting curve. The liner was made of floral fabric. It had one zipper compartment inside.

Blue Cocoa | Tri-Fold Handstitched Leather Purse

Brown leather + light blue thread, that was how Blue Cocoa came from.

This purse has three compartments. When you open the main cover, it shows the inner section. After you open the second cover, it has two inside compartments and one zipper pocket. I hope my descriptions are clear. If not, please just go ahead and look at the pictures. This purse is great for organizing all your stuff. A blue seam was hand-stitched around the cover to define its shape.
 
Most parts of the purse were hand-stitched. The leather pieces was first hand cut, and then the holes were hand punched, and the purse was hand stitched.

Enjoy!

Everything But Ordinary - Brown | Leather Clutch Bag

If you like everything but ordinary, you will love this clutch bag.You will love the uneven sides and the unusual cover shape.

This clutch bag has a zipper opening that ensure nothing would fall out. Put your phone, keys money and cards inside, and that's all you need for going to the party. Before cutting the leather hide apart, I saved the piece with the "made in Italy" stamp on the back. Since one large leather hide only had once little stamp on the back, I planned to use this unique piece as the cover of this clutch bag. The leather was made in Italy, yet this clutch bag was made in the USA. Hope you are not confused ;)

Up Next.....

I really like this Italian leather hide so I just ordered more.

More purses are coming on the way....




Coffee - Mocha | Leather Purse

- Coffee or mocha?
- Mocha please.

I've had the design ideal of making a large thin purse in mind for a long...time. However, the problem was that most leather was so soft and easy to be bended. It was until I found this Italian leather hide - it's just perfect for the design. Nice brown color with semi-gloss finish.

Cotton lace was added on the top to bring up the soft temper. The straps are made of veg-tanned leather (the color will get deeper and deeper and eventually turn into honey brown color).   The tag is made of the leather piece, lace and a big mother of pearl with the carved letter "M".







Never Full | Leather Knitting Bag

This is really a "never full" purse - if you put water in it.

The purse looks simple to make. However it requires high precision that the length of each strap needs to be perfectly cut, the cuttings on the strap for knitting needs to be in the exact spots. Oh, the preciseness made me sweat. This leather knitting bag comes with a linen bag with leather strap opening. I added my favorite victorian style pink flow fabric in the middle of the linen bag. 

The purse is made of the latest Italian leather high I received. Nice brown color with semi-gloss finish. Italian people are well-known for their hand-made goods. I hope you like this made in the USA leather purse as well.








Everything But Ordinary - Vintage Pink | Handstitched Clutch Bag

If you like everything but ordinary, you will love this clutch bag.You will love the uneven sides and the unusual cover shape.

This clutch bag has a zipper opening that ensure nothing would fall out. Inside the bag it had one divider and 6 credit card slot. Put your phone and keys one one side, and put the money and cards on the other side. That's all you need for going to the party. A mini flower china plate is hanging on the side for decoration. The cover uses the edge from the leather hide that stores the natural texture.

The entire bag was hand-cut, hand-punched and hand stitched. 






The Date We First Met | Leather Purse

I think all ladies have many many purse collection, but only one or two that they would use more often. I like the one that is simple and stylish.

The purse cover has two magnetic bottoms for easy opening. It has one big side pocket and two open pockets inside. The side pocket has a piece of cover. It comes with an additional trap that you can adjust the length. The purse is made of pink veg-tanned leather.


 




Dream Pink | Tri-Fold Handstitched Leather Purse

Supper! Finally I finished this lovely purse. I am sure all ladies will like it ;)

This purse has three compartments. When you open the main cover, it shows the inner section. After you open the second cover, it has two inside compartments and one zipper pocket. It also comes with 6 credit card slots. Each slot is made of one piece of leather, so 6 slots contains 6 pieces. Every three pieces were stacked and hand-stitched. Alright, in summary, it has: 3 open pockets, one zipper pocket and 6 card slots. Just more than enough for organizing all your stuff. A knitted flower of eggshell color is sewed on the top for decoration. 

Most parts of the purse were hand-stitched. The leather pieces was hand cut. Next the holes were hand punched, and then hand stitched. Um...my arms feel so tired now.
