My latest and last for 2018 is a ladies clutch. It's more of a prototype. There are a few design changes I plan on making for the next one.
It's made from Weinheimer Waprolux & Alran Sully. It has Texon stiffener in the front and back panels and in the flap, and an Amiet lock. Hand stitched with Lin Cable.
Really nice work, big fan for matching stitches and lining <3
Thanks Phil,
The Amiet locks are nice. It's brass as far as I know. I bought this one a few years ago from Buckle Guy. I don't think they carry this style anymore.
My only complaint about the Waprolux is that the black tends to end up on my thread when stitching.
The pockets inside are split to 0.5mm and folded to make a fully lined pocket. I've been doing this since Rocky Mountain Leather Supply started splitting. I find this makes a much sturdier pocket with less stretch and a much nicer top edge that creases really well.
Gorgeous! That Waprolux has a beautiful texture to it. It's a really classic design and I like the folded card pockets inside, nice touch!
How do you find the Amiet locks? Are they brass or a plated zinc alloy do you think?
Thanks for sharing!
Phil
