HOWNI CREATE A NEW BAG DESIGN USING A DIFFERENT COLORFUL LEATHER AS FLAP.

Good morning everyone,

This morning I present to you my latest bag design. Its a lovely mini bag with combination of two leathers. I decided to use black leather for the body and another colorful leather for the flap and short handle. Initially when I was designing the bag in my head, I wasn't sure if the black combined with the other two leathers will come out well. I have this picture of how I want it to look and since I haven't made the design before I wasn't sure if it will be as I want it but I'm glad it did. My favorite part of the bag is the short handle. It's thick, firm and sits well on the bag unlike the slacking handle I was using before. I guess the secret is in the material I used for the handle. Since the bag came out as I want it, I'd be making a midi and even maxi size of the bag. But I might decide to use different colors or I might still stick to the black and bright colors.

MATERIALS USED INCLUDE:

• Leathers of choice
• Fibre
• Suade for lining
• Soft leather for the sides
• Bottom pins
• Bag lock
• Adjuster
• Anchor
• Gum
• Pelican paper

PROCESS

• The first thing I did was to mark the pattern on the Fibre and leather of choice then I cut it out and gummed them together. I also cut the gas pipe and wrapped it wound the leather with the help of gum.

• Next I cut holes 1inches from the top of the flap using a puncher and hammer and inside I fixed the small handle. Then I gummed it with the help of a strong super glue.

• Here I fixed the lock.

• Next I fixed the bottom pin to the main body of the bag, D rings to the sides and I gummed the lining with the bag. Then I sew the sides with the main body of the bag.

• I sew the flap with the main body ofnthe bag before sewing the sides.
