As the handle is an important part of the briefcase, I will share it separately first. The method may be different from others, but the result and feel are very good. Many leather enthusiasts may be afraid of cutting the core of the handle, but in fact, if you practice more and become more stable, it will be fine.

Production tools: thinning knife, leather chopping, hand sewing Needle, thread hammer, edge ironing machine, awl, utility knife, sandpaper Production materials: black Australian calfskin, black tumbled calfskin, vegetable tanning (for cushion core), water-based white glue, black edge oil

1. Prepare drawings and core materials . (The drawings and materials will be slightly adjusted and changed in subsequent production. Please read the entire process.) Prepare two pieces of finely cut cushion cores for reference when cutting the upper and lower cushion cores. Prepare the leather material for the load-bearing strip of the middle handle.

2. Take out the upper core leather material, apply water-based white glue on the multi-layer vegetable tanned leather and stick it on. Be careful to bend it (refer to the general guide for the upper core core) The thickness is about 8mm), and then compacted using rollers.
