Make your own leather clutch bag from reclaimed leather.  Pre-cut leather and online tutorials. Everything you need is in the bag.

WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT? 

Bags have seemed a bit unnecessary during lockdown, but now we’re allowed out it’s time to start thinking again about accessories. This little clutch ticks a lot of boxes. For a start you make it yourself, from scratch, out of reclaimed leather (sourced from off cuts from a very on-trend furniture upholster). This is not a tricky as it sounds as it is pre-cut and the stitch holes are pre-punched.

The constructed bag is then a blank canvas. How it looks is absolutely down to you. Co-ordinate the bag to a favourite outfit, write your name on it, design it for a friend, stencil on a pattern. Whatever the results it is absolutely unique to you (don’t forget to sign it - well you never know).

WHAT'S INCLUDED

• Pre-cut and pre-punched cream bag leather
• Pots of leather acrylic paint
• Paint brushes x 2
• Sewing needle and waxed thread
• Scrap of leather for testing
