iPHONE 6+ LEATHER PURSE

SOFT SHADE iPHONE 6+ LEATHER PURSE

Wabi - Sabi quote - "wabi sabi seeks the purity of natural imperfection" … Andrew Juniper

The purse is made to comfortably hold an iPhone 6+. But anyone can notice that it is made to hold other daily things too. Bank notes, make-up essentials... anything. It is multi-purpose actually.

And that's because the purse is going to outlast 10 more iPhones. Strong leather, it is built to survive through decades, which the iPhone will not. 

The unique feature is the reverse closing strap. It starts from the bottom of the purse and wraps itself around the purse and locks itself in a loop at the front. It also has multiple locking options, just in case the purse swelled with all the favourite items?

A product with an element of wabi-sabi, the locking loop at the front is slightly imperfect (not weak). You can notice it has a rough mark. Have left it so on purpose. This is leather, not plastic. Comes from real life and brings with it a unique characteristic of real life. Imperfection and impermanence. Let your insights flow. Share them if you can.

CLASSY RED PASSPORT POUCH

ASSERTIVE RED LEATHER PASSPORT POUCH 

An elegant yet bold piece of work here. It is a passport pouch. Made tough enough to take the strains of journeys many. Looks unisex but one suspects it might look classy in the hands of a lady. 

Red leather with a strong sense of identity, paired with a dark chocolate strip and super strong white nylon thread to provide a stark contrast, the pouch is destined to attract some envious glances. 

Will last many a decade.

IPAD MINI TABLET HOLDER

TABLET HOLDER

Designed to hold an iPad mini or a slightly bigger tab.  Nice classic colours that can be carried anywhere but best in a formal setting. Made it for a buddy relative.

Used strong, soft temper leather with a simple button as a closer. The beauty of the leather is captured in the brown piece that is used for the back and the front flap. This is taken from a softer portion of the hide but a portion that has the maximum character (notice the many wrinkles and lines on that part). It will make this Tablet Holder stand apart and a joy to hold. And a joy to age with. The sheer beauty of the imperfection these lines bring to the tablet holder will make it a proud possession.

FIERY RED - SMALL TOTE

Fiery Red - Small tote

This is a mini tote. I made for my mother. Very useful I thought for a short walk in the neighbourhood, or to the market to purchase small items. Handy and uncomplicated. Just the way I like to make my creations. 

Simple, easy to handle, functional but strongly built. Not built to look good (that it will anyway), but more built to last and last and last and....  well, you get the point.

Have used a medium temper fiery red leather for the main body of the bag. The side walls are made of soft temper leather with a smooth complexion. This pinkish colour was used to give a mild contrast to the red of the main body. 

But the handles are built of stiff natural shade leather which will age beautifully as it absorbs the elements of nature. The colour will change from the present beige to a nice caramel and then a darker brown (think whisky?).

Made fully by hand. Hand cut. Hand pasted. Hand stitched. With every stitch receiving fullest attention and each stitch put meticulously in place. This is the most joyous part of the whole process. The one I enjoy the most. The concentration and meditativeness that hand stitching offers is truly truly uplifting for the soul.

This is a really useful bag. Elegant. It holds forth a personality, all its own.

And the best part ! ! ! ! !  No body else is going to have such a bag. It is the only one in existence. And will remain so!
