In addition to holding textbooks when we were young, our schoolbags also contained snacks, CDs, comics and other small things. When we grow up, we still put small happy objects in our bags to accompany us in our lives. The "Spring Pig Classic Small School Bag" was born from the idea of ??a school bag - a shoulder bag or cross-body bag, practical and lightweight. Whether it is for work or outing for a date, it is everyones best friend when going out. It is carefully sewn by hand with Italian leather. The color will change over time and with regular use, from the light original leather color to the super beautiful retro dark coffee! Keep venturing into the world with this classic little schoolbag that seems to be alive!

I believe that many peoples eyes will immediately light up when they hear "handmade leather". This time, I went to "Chunzhu Studio" to experience "handmade leather-warm Japanese classic small schoolbag". It is located on Chaozhou Street in Taipei, a few minutes' drive away It is very close to Guting Station or Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall Station on the Yunxindian Line. It takes about five to eight minutes to walk to get there. The appearance of the studio is made of wooden walls and leather colors.
When I walked into the studio, a bunch of "gifts" and a dazzling array of leather products attracted my attention. Although there were many things, they were well organized and stayed in their own homes without feeling messy at all. Spring Pig The studio is not simple at all, and you should have learned the art of storage.
Isn’t it super neat? Can I teach another lesson on storage?
This is the table that we "booked" today. It is used as a pencil case, a coin purse, and a small school bag.
The size of the small school bag and the backpack have been cut out, which makes people feel at ease, because it saves a lot of time and avoids late night snacks.
I didn’t know where the courage came from at first, so I chose a small school bag among these three options. "If you are not afraid of failure, why be afraid of change." This is a sentence I read recently. It is said that everything is difficult at the beginning, so you must first learn Don’t be afraid of failure, and the road ahead will be broader!
First use a scriber to lightly score a line on the edge. Generally, the leather seam allowance is about 0.5 cm, but it will always be a little smaller than 0.5.
The knocking part is on these pieces of wood.
The drawn lines are then followed by diamond chops to make holes. The diamond chops are generally divided into two, four, and six chops. At first glance, they look like a fork, but in fact the shape of each root is a rhombus.
Drilling a hole seems to be a simple action, but if you are not careful, the hole will be made crooked, so there is a reason to use a scriber to draw a line at the beginning. The hole made slightly closer to the edge of the line or on the line will be very easy to make. There are obviously different positions. It is also important to see whether the hole penetrates the leather when making the hole. There are also gestures for taking out the diamond chopper after drilling. If your fingers are too close to the diamond chopper and you pick it up, you may get cut accidentally.
After drilling the hole, choose the color of the suture. There are many colors to choose from.
The never-ending seams began. Most of the time was spent on sewing. Especially the small school bag I chose was larger than the pencil case and coin purse. There were really a lot of places to sew. , every place where the leather needs to be joined is sewn stitch by stitch.
I really like the atmosphere of Chunzhu Studio. The large panes are windows, installations and designs. There is no breathtaking tranquility. Although everyones hands are constantly busy, the mood is pleasant and stress-free. Sometimes they are talking and laughing, and sometimes they are quiet. !
Even when taking up the thread, we are very particular about how to handle the thread ends to make them look beautiful. It seems that every step is important.
The side lines and punch holes must be aligned so that the two pieces of leather will not be misaligned when they are sewn together
There are two stitching methods for suturing. The instructor explained and operated them one by one. Both methods are not difficult. You can sew according to your own customary method. After sewing for an afternoon, the secret tip I got is "the gestures should be the same." , with the same strength and each stitch of the double thread falling in the same position, it will be very neat.
After deciding where to print the name, the instructor will let everyone practice it first to prevent it from being crooked or uneven after printing.
There are a wide range of leather products. What is really great is not the hand-made part, but the original design and creation. The design and creativity of the object itself is its soul. The upper and lower right are made by two other students today. Coin purse and pencil case style.
Time flies so fast. The first handmade leather bag in my life is completed. I still doubt that this is the bag I made stitch by stitch. I am so moved that I almost cry!
The development of leather will vary from person to person. From new leather to after three years of use, the change in color is its charm. We must also thank the instructor for his carefulness so that students will not taste failure. , don’t you feel very excited when you see such a unique leather schoolbag~~
