A Refined handmade leather good like the ones pictured above, means the interior is lined with leather and the edges are painted for a seamless look. The small, slanted stitch -often made with a French style pricking iron, also contributes to the sophisticated look. This is Classic leather craft taken to the next level. The tools and techniques used here are what we consider a European approach to leather craft.
This is how I was trained. The skills I learned were very French and specifically very Hermes. If you don’t know Hermes, it’s a French luxury goods manufacturer that sells two of the most sought after handbags in the world: the Birkin and the Kelly. Bags worthy of their own blog. Interestingly, even though most Hermes leather pieces are no longer entirely made by hand, leather crafters still hold the brand as gold standard for refined, handmade, luxury leather goods.
