steveb leatherworks: the blather

Hi friends,  fans, leatherworkers, and browsers…it’s been a while since I checked in here and I thought now would be a good time since I’ve got some stuff in the works that will require homes.

This post is about “totes”. Totes are those handy as hell bags that people carry to transport anything from groceries to laptop to gym stuff. Commuters live out of their totes and they really are key pieces of kit for the modern worker/person. Women especially seem to favor totes.

So, Ive made a couple to date. I’ve learned a bunch, mostly that they are a shit ton of work to produce and need alot of fine detailing to really stand out. They also need to be heavy duty and these two babies definetly are that – heavy duty!

These two are made from fantastic leather, super comfy handles, doubled up bottoms, sewn, riveted in all stress points and glued. These bags are heavy duty, make no mistake,. I am actually considering posting their weight only because if your looking for a lightweight unit – this ain’t gonna be it.

Problem is, every single one of the ones I’ve made to date has found a home before I really got to photograph them and so, i am trying to get one or two of these in the hands of people that are NOT friends and family, ha!

You will be able to find them in my ETSY store when I am done finessing them into their optimal state…

As always – thanks for your interest and ongoing support.
