Found some Italian gator belly embossed leather on sale at Maverick Leather and created this purse. I made two versions with the gator belly “grain” in different directions. Very simple purse to cut and put together. I also included some pig suede also on sale from ML. I think the bright colors really add to the elegant look of the purse.
Wow…they look great. The colors really look good too.
Surprising how different it looks depending on the “grain”. both are beautiful.
Perfectly executed! I haven’t tried any leather projects but this is inspiring.
They look incredible!!!
I have some gorgeous alligator but not enough to make a purse probably 4 wallets.
These are awesome! Fantastic job!
Very impressive!
Both are fantastic. I like the vertical grain the best.
Ohmygosh, what amazing designer handbags!
you just gave me a great idea! I think I’ll make a matching wallet!
These are wonderful…it’s obvious that you are very skilled in designing. I really like the colored linings.
I was gonna say horizontal.
They’re beautiful!
I’m in love with this!! How can I get this pattern please? If you don’t mind me asking.
I’m glad you like it! Here’s the link Minimalist Elegant DIY Purse Pattern in PDF and SVG Formats | Etsy
