Randoseru style leather backpack build

I made a backpack for my girlfriend and ended up making something very similar to a Japanese Randoseru bag! I love the result despite many small errors along the way. Made with 1,4mm thick vegetable tanned leather, dyed with Fiebing's Oil dye in walnut and hand stitched.

I am still learning a ton every time I take on a new project and always appreciate feedback on my creations. For the moment I don't take orders as I like to spend too many hours getting the finished product as good as I can : this means that if I were to sell these bags, the selling price would be way more than the bags are worth due to the hours of work involved. As always, do let me know what you think of this creation and this video. If you have any tips or comments about the techniques used, please let me know by dropping a comment below this video :) Thanks for watching!
