Custom work for a customer

A simple western belt, the kind that was very popular in the 19th century. I had it made to my individual measurements last summer and have been wearing it every day since then. Here you can see it in new condition. It is made of 4.5 mm thick Old World Harness leather, and the hardware is made of 100% brass and was made in Japan.

The production of the Tote Bag is moving into the next round with a small but subtle change. This little snapshot, taken during work, shows naturally tanned, undyed premium quality leather from Europe and prick iron made in Japan.

New logo and branding are available and will optionally decorate my leather goods in the future. I am happy

@matt_rost I really like that. I've been toying with having a makers mark like that created for my projects. Where did you have that made?

I created the logo together with a media designer friend, and the company Graving handled the production of the stamp: www.graving.de
I opted for the electrically heated stamp and am currently experimenting with the optimal temperature, which is quite tricky. Therefore, I would definitely recommend ordering the optional power regulator at the same time if you don't want a fire-heated stamp...
If you have any further questions, please let me know.

While continuing work on a large black tote bag with interior compartments, custom made...

@matt_rost So satisfying, right?

@seawolf Oh yes! A lot to sew... to meditate! I wouldn't have wanted to make this shopper for myself this way at first. But now I'd really like to keep it for myself. Of course, that's not possible. When I hopefully have more time soon, I'll make this model again in a rough-out version. But first, proper pics of this one will follow soon...
