Great idea! love the bag. I was wondering if you would share your ideas on adding a pocket or two on the inside. Have you lined leather bags? Would love to know how.

Great Idea! Thanks for sharing! I have an old leather jacket that’s too big for me. I’ll have plenty of leather left. Keep the ideas coming please!

Thank you! Loved your ideas. I’ve collected thrift store leather and suede jackets–knowing there was a way to recycle them. . . . this is it! Would love to see more video on the topic of upcycling–especially men’s wool suits.

This is a great tutorial, and it’s so cool to hear about your job. I had no idea there were tailors on fashion shoots, though it seems obvious to me now!
