Working on this latest batch of bags (coming soon to Guadalupe Trading Co. ) , I saw the perfect opportunity to share a little and education. Hand skiving is important when working with thicker leathers and layers that overlap for a few reasons.

🍃 Your future self will thank you when running those areas through your sewing machine later.
🍃 The junctions look cleaner on the finished item.
🍃 If you're flipping it right side out after stitching, it will make it a little easier.

It is scary because at any second, no matter your practice or skill level, you can gouge out the leather and ruin the whole thing 😬. In my humble experience. But the details matter!

I almost forgot to post this ya'll! These are the last of the "Impressions of Monet" bag collection now available in at The ARTitude Cottage . All compact in size for those who prefer to carry just the essentials but want to do it in style still 😊. I absolutely love how the straps turned out for the first two pictured - best seen in person 😍.

Slide 1: One of my personal favorite patterns I have designed, which I named after my niece (nicknamed LeeLou). I carry the same style myself! Holds up to six credit cards in front slots with two compartments for cash/checkbook and a phone, divided by a zipper pocket. Features the most secure bag fastener I had ever come across and an easy slide adjustable crossbody strap.

Slide 2: Classic boxy compact purse with a chic curved top. Phone slip pocket on the back with snap closure for quick access. An otherwise simple open compartment with a small zipper pocket inside. Main compartment snaps closed. Same easy slide adjustable crossbody strap. Check out that beautiful backdrop artwork by Tracy Murphy !

Slide 3: Its a tiny but fiercely convenient phone purse. Main compartment large enough for a cased phone with plenty of room to spare and an oversized snap pocket on back for at least three stacked cards and/or folded cash. Can switch between a wristlet or buckle adjustable crossbody strap for carry.

This is bag four of the "Impressions of Monet" bag collection now available in at The ARTitude Cottage. Little and cute compared to its larger bag siblings - scroll to the end for a size comparion with the medium version. 😊The remaining three of the collection will be showcased together tomorrow!

This is a small sized with an easy slide adjustable length 3/4" wide strap. Light colored pigskin interior with a full width front interior slip pocket and a generously sized back zipper pocket. Strong snap through simple closure keeps contents nicely secured.

This is bag three of the "Impressions of Monet" bag collection now available in at The ARTitude Cottage. Just look at the gorgeous T brand on the back 😮, intentionally left and oddly my first name initial! Stay tuned for continued posts showcasing the rest of the collection!

🍃🍃🍃

This is a medium sized with an easy slide adjustable length 3/4" wide strap. Light colored pigskin interior with a full width front interior slip pocket and a generously sized back zipper pocket. Strong snap through simple closure keeps contents nicely secured. (I neglected to get the actual dimensions of these remaining five bags of this collection 🤦‍♀️. Will update post when I can with those.)
