THE "KIRSTEN"

This handbag, made for my best friend's fiancée, is the first one I made using 4 to 5 oz. tooling leather. It is extremely robust and should literally last a lifetime.
The main body is dyed a rich mahogany brown and features a removable purse liner so that if you want to switch the exterior, all your things can be transferred
together and everything stays in the same place. The bag also features a tan shoulder strap and accents for contrast, as well as a magnetic clasp closure.
Every stitch is sewn by hand with a needle and waxed thread.

 

A side view of the bag reveals its rounded-off teardrop shape, as well as its more reddish-brown colouration and glossier finish.
