What's in the Kit

The kit includes everything you need to assemble the bag:

• Pre-cut top grain leather panels
• Pre-punched stitching holes
• Thread (choose matching or white)
• Gold-tone metal hardware
• Needles
• Step-by-step instructions

Skill Level and Process

This kit is designed for beginners. The structure is simple, and the holes are already punched, so you can focus on the stitching. You will learn the basics of leathercraft, including saddle stitching and assembling hardware.

What You Need

You may need a few basic tools, such as scissors and a ruler, but the kit provides all the essential materials.

Materials and Dimensions

The panels are made from top grain leather. The interior lining is faux leather. The bag has one main compartment and one slide pocket. The hardware is gold-tone metal.

Two sizes are available:

• Small (18 cm): Width 18 cm, Height 19 cm, Depth 10 cm
• Large (26 cm): Width 26 cm, Height 25 cm, Depth 10 cm

The crossbody strap is 130 cm long, and the leather handle is 30 cm long. You can wear it as a shoulder bag, crossbody, or handbag.

Why Hand Stitching Lasts

This kit uses the saddle stitch, a traditional hand-stitching technique. Unlike machine stitching, which can unravel when a single thread breaks, saddle stitching uses two needles and two threads that cross through each hole. This creates a stronger, more durable seam that holds up better over time.
