Another big bag made.
Nubuck London Tan leather with Green Olive canvas matches well, with side bags.
Able to hand carry or sling back.

You can try Spotlight at plaza singapura. Its @ Level 4 or 5.
OR
Can try to order them online from e.g. Tandy. Or just try to google for such stuff and see whether they offer overseas shipping.
OR
source from other countries yourself.
OR
can try those shops selling leather such as the 3 shops @ geylang area.

Personally, I have tried option 1 and 2. But ordering online has more of its advantages such as having wider variety.

Options 3 and 4 are worth a go, I might be doing it one day when I am free.

@Toby

Thanks for the heads-up, ll try spotlight soon. For overseas suppliers, my only concern is the shipping cost as im only looking to get a couple of pieces for my own work.

I saw this USA website called ohiotravelbag; seems like they have a lot of variety but still checking on the costs of shipping.

We do hand stitching instead of the common machine stitching so come take a look!

Hi, nice wallet there, can i ask?

Is this a veg tanned leather? Can i ask u more bout the surface finishing? Did u apply a coat of gloss to it? How u make the leather tanned in dark brown colour?

Though I am not the seller, and I might be wrong...Its actually veg tanned, but not your usual natural dyed tooling leather (cream).

This leather is in a shade of a light tan (so its orangy-brown). Whether or not there is gloss coat applied to it, we might not know (from the picture, but in real-life it looks really nice as I do have this type of leather myself).
If I am not wrong, there is also a black dyed one to this veg-tanned series as well (I do have it too).

Then again, for those purists out there, I might be wrong and this might be termed as something else :s22:
