Behind the Scenes: The Making of a Leather Coin Purse.
Carol creates an array of leather goods for us, including our leather coin purse. Her creative process begins with an inspection of the leather to guarantee its quality. She then stretches the leather before carefully cutting it to the required shape. She often incorporates a contrasting colour lining to create a stunning interior for the purse. To complete the purse, she punches the holes for the brass studs and folds the leather to construct it into a beautiful final product.
A Guide to the Materials We Use:
Leather
We make a conscious effort to utilise the offcuts from other leather industries to minimise waste and maximise the benefits of the entire hide. Our sources of offcuts include a local upholsterer and high-quality leather makers who are happy to provide us with their surplus materials.
Our Favourite Supplier
One of our most cherished sources of leather is a close friend who dedicated his career to creating bespoke footwear. Although he is now retired, he generously provided us with a magnificent collection of top-notch leather. Carol skilfully incorporates his leather into our bags and purses. This particular source holds a special place in our hearts as it allows us to remember our dear friend with every creation we make.
Waxed Cotton Thread & Brass Pins:
When sewing leather, it’s important to use waxed cotton thread for strong and durable stitching. This adds structural integrity and a polished finish to the leather product. We always opt for high-quality brass or chrome pins for fastenings, and we make sure to wax every seam for a proper finish.
