I make a variety of different style bags, from briefcases to simple satchels. They are all custom made and can take a very long time, depending on my schedule.
Thanks for the nice comment, Rolando. Each bag is made individually and the price depends on the features. The McClellan saddle bag with braided handle is sold but would be $600. For that, the entire bag–including strap–were hand stitched, and the applique braid was cut by hand from kangaroo hide. It took a very long time to make! I can do similar bags that use a machine for the strap and they would start about $400, depending on other features. And most importantly, I’m still extremely slow because I don’t have much time to spend in the shop these days… Best Regards, Art
Beautiful! How much for the saddle shoulder bag?
