Making a Handmade Leather Briefcase

Tools and Materials: Leather briefcases can have many variations. The one in this video has one large main cavity with a pocket on the back for things like receipts or boarding passes and a pocket under the flap for your phone. This briefcase was made from russet 5/6 oz. leather and is lined with suede. The bag is completely hand stitched using Ritza Tiger Thread and features antique nickel hardware.
