Hello all,
Please give me your feedback on a pair of briefcases shown here. In both, the smooth leather is Wickett and Craig English bridle. Goat lining. One bag has a "sandblasted" gator flap from AmTan, my first large project using that material. ABAS closures. Creased with F2 fileteuse. The bag bodies (exteriors) are 10.5" tall by 15" wide. Regarding the stitching with 1mm Tiger thread and Craft Japan irons: I've ordered European irons, and future projects will have the decorative angles we all like so much.
A question for the group: How much should I charge for these briefcases?
Thanks,
Dale
I think "very expensive" would be the way to go. Looks beautiful.
Hey mate,
love the briefcases, specially the Gator one, really nice.
I read above that you did not line them and it was quicker that way. I do not agree. You are allready stitching and edge painting all the edge from what I see in the picture. Lining would have taken you a max of 1 extra hour but would have taken your work to the next level (and your price would have followed).
Can you show us more pics of the gator one, you said there were intricate pockets inside it.
Both look awesome! Clean and nice!
A briefcase is one of my dream projects!)
It seems like a nice handle would make it perfect. But it's my personal opinion :)
How much time did you spend on each of them?
Looks beautiful and solid! Fantastic work!!!!
concerning price, I’ve never worked with gator so I am unable to say a price. But I am able to say that the project looks very beautiful! 👍🏻
