Being asked to realise a person's vision is always a project I enjoy, not only the challenge to pattern and create, in this instance, a bag but to ensure you are seeing the very thing pictured in someone's mind.
I never underestimate the trust required by someone to invest their vision and money in a bespoke commission.
Really enjoyed this from selecting the correct leather, Metropolitan Rutland from to ensuring the fittings stand up, using brass buckles, rigs and snaps.
It's worth even more to receive such a lovely review..
Review:
After meeting TW Leather at a country show, the experience has been excellent from start to finish. They completely understood how important the exact shade of brown was to me and took great care to get it just right. There were plenty of interim emails with thoughtful questions, design ideas, and photos showing the bag being made, which was a lovely part of the process. The bag was posted exactly when they said it would be, with good packaging and postage included in the quoted price for a bespoke piece.
Five stars for every part of the process.
