Finished!!! Many thanks to this client. She is from Taiwan. She is the best client I've ever had. She tell me take my time to make the bag and the passport holder. At that time I was very unhappy and questioning myself why I don't have any orders......before I got her order I don't have any orders for a few months......

If you look carefully you can find that there is a little different on the strap and the body of the bag. Because I used 4mm chisel to make the body, 3mm chisel to make the small parts like 2 little straps on the cover, the handle, card slot which gives more detail. It looks better but I need more stitching time to work on it.

I used Fil Au Chinois Waxed Linen Thread to make the bag. Size 432 (Diameter 0.63mm) for the body, size 532 (Diameter 0.57mm) for the small part. Actually, Hermes also use this brand to make their leather goods.

I also make more "pop out" details (I can't search the name in English, please tell me if you know) on the handle and straps on the cover, it is not hard to make but again, it needs extra time to work on it.
