TanGo 2,444 Posted March 27 So, the Dulles bag is done! I use Italian-made calfskin. The lining is a fabric bought from a boutique in Paris. It is a jacquard fabric, the main color is mustard and the pattern is purple. The fabric has a chameleon effect, as at different angles the color looks either mustard or purple. Frames for such bags can be bought online , but most often they are Chinese and of poor quality. I bought a long bar of stainless steel 2 mm thick, and my husband made a high-quality reliable frame. All the seams are made by hand. All cuts are painted by hand. The fittings are Italian made. Temporarily I attached a chain instead of the shoulder strap of the bag. Later I will make a strap of leather and sew it by hand.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GingerApple 7,285 Posted March 27 Beautiful saddle! Is that for you or to sell? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteveA 308 Posted March 28 That is stunning and I think the gold chain looks good it should come with both to dress up or down depending on the occasion 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TanGo 2,444 Posted April 2 Well, I've cut and prepared the parts of the Dulles bag in Gucci leather and textile for assembly. I managed to get my hands on an authentic red and green Gucci ribbon. The assembly process promises to be long but exciting. Every detail will be given the utmost attention. For example. In this photo you can see the edges of the parts . One edge is raw and the other is sanded and repeatedly painted and polished by hand If this is of interest to any of you gentlemen, I will periodically add photos of the process as progress is made. My respects, gentlemen 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
