Searching perfect handbag
I have been searching perfect handbag for years. Every time when I thought that I found it, problem has been price tag with 4-5 digits. During this search I got pretty good idea of my perfect handbag.
I am short so most of normal medium sized handbags are too large for me. I also wanted to have ethically made bag that would also be very durable. Sewing handbag on my own was not possible since I don’t have sewing machine suitable for sewing thigh leather.
While surfing in Internet I found small leather product manufacturer Nippanappa. Further search with Google revealed that customers had been pleased with products and service. In February I had change to visit this shop. I made sketches in train on the way and with this drawing I walked in the shop. I could choose all hardware and leather quality by my self. At the same time we made precise drawings of the bag with all measurements. Some details were altered to be more functional. They promised bag to be finished this week.
The bag arrived today
It is as perfect I wanted! Bag is handmade and even the leather is dyed by hand. Leather quality is very strong and sturdy and it will age beautifully. Shop owners had garments made of same material and they looked fine although they were years old. Sewing is made nicely and edges are turned as in very expensive bags. Inside is very simple as I wanted. Bag is stiff enough to stand on its brass feet.
This bag will serve me for long time!
