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.
