Here is the final version of my Gladstone Lunch Bag. They were finished a few weeks ago but I did not post them immediately as I wanted my customer to see them first and choose between the two.
I really enjoyed this project. It was fun teaching myself how to use the gladstone hinges. I can see myself using them with other projects.

I don't think enough attention is paid to the humble leather handle.
These handles take many steps and much time to complete but will last generations. Two handles are cut, along with four pieces of stiff leather filler. The hardware is riveted onto the handles. The filler pieces are glued over these rivets on either sides of the handles. The filler pieces are trimmed, top and bottom to even them out and round the tops. A rectangular piece of leather is "cased" (dampened with water), formed around each handle and stretched to accommodate the curves. These are clamped and allowed to dry. The handles are dyed to coordinate with the case they being fastened to, stitching holes are punched and then the covering is stitched on with contrasting waxed thread. The raw edge, along the top, is trimmed, sanded even and smooth and then edge finished to seal and refine.

Here is my gladstone lunch bag prototype. It did not turn out at all as I wished but it was the first time I have worked with this type of bag frame and I learned a lot. I now know what corrections to make. Though it is not what I was aiming for, it's still a decent bag and I may adopt it as my own lunch bag. I love the way pull up leather gives the colour of the bag more depth. Except for the insulated interior lining, this bag could have been made one hundred years ago. I tried to stick with classic elements. #Leather #design #Maker #DIY #LunchBag #insulation

Here is my new Woodruff Bag in tan Italian leather. There are four interior pockets and a key chain holder. The bag is partially lined in front and back. The remaining leather is finished so it does not need a lining. The zippered top has two sliders. The only thing I will change about this going forward is to make the zipper two inches longer so the bag can be opened slightly wider. The handles have a small strap to hold them together but this can be easily unfastened for easier access to the bag. This was my own invention because I get tired of handles slipping apart as I am carrying a bag. Please click through to see other views of the bag. #leather #bag #maker #LeatherSmith #design #HandMade #HandStitched
