I had a brand that reached out to me and wanted me to make a toolbox-styled bag for a runway event. There were a lot of hurdles to overcome with this project and I found most of the answers here! I referenced "The Mini Leather Trunk", "The Art of Leather Wrapped Boxes", "The Making of a Post Handle" and a few more that I'm forgetting. Just wanted to share my appreciation for Philip and the courses. Even as a professional, they are an indispensable asset!
Phenomenal work! That's a really beautiful case. I love that you used multiple courses to create something completely unique to you. It really does look like a tool box, just a lot more elevated.
Thank you for sharing that with us!


Beautiful work! I've never seen salmon skin used as a lining before, I have to say it's really cool. Really nice work.
Did you do a direct glue-in with the lining, or just stitched in along the edges?
I just finished my second bag... took what I learned in the Turrene course and tried something different...

Nice work Jeffrey, I love the colour! The Picotin is a nice relaxed design.
Nice work John, I'm sure your niece loved it! That green is really nice too. I never knew Metropolitan were absorbed by GH Leathers. I don't understand why they went under owing to their popularity in the community. Not popular enough I guess.
