My friend ask me to post for him.

He has bags and bags of scrap leather for sale. Natural veg tan, drum dyed black veg tan, black garment leather, all sorts. Can't list them all, also too varied to take pictures.

Better for you to go his shop and take a look if you're keen.

He is at Jalan Kledek, shop sign board is Pine & Oak. Timing is normally from 10pm to early hours. Erratic. Better to sms him before going down.

Barb: 90277868

He also has a couple of stitching slit punches (fork style) for sale. $25-$40.

That's all I know, anything further, please check with him.

Since we are leather fanatics, we believe we need to have different style of leather goods for our different lifestyle.

We have come out with an idea to categorize leather goods style.

Namely, 'GENTLEMEN', CONTEMPORARY', NATIVE TRAVELER', 'WORKWEAR', base on wat we have seen in modern leathercraft.

GENTLEMEN Style
For office wear and formal events. Designs are mostly slim and using premium leathers for stylist individuals.
More for bi-fold user, example:

CONTEMPORARY Style
For designs that are 'out-of-the-box', yet maintains its function. Crossing and mixing different type of style and colours.

NATIVE TRAVELER Style
We are all familiar with these style of leather goods. Beads, tassles, concho....are all the native's trademark. Needless to say, we can find many of these items on these leather goods. Of cos, it is also popular in Singapore

And also to announce, our own signature shape for the leather snap. We have been following other's design for too long, we need to come out with something OBBI GOOD LABEL style. So here it is now.
We can now identify OGL's wallet with others.

Superior premium veg tan leather, only available at OBBI GOOD LABEL. Those we have feel it knows wat I mean

WORKWEAR Style
This is wat we call it. Mostly spotting our OBBI GOOD LABEL 2 buttons front. Easy, neat and design with functional usage in mind.
Following wat the labour class in the past need. Very durable, no hassles, lifetime lasting and most importantly, aged beautifully.

We hope these will give everyone an idea of how we can style ourselves with leathergoods. We are no expert in styling but we do want to provide the neccessary tools for your styling

More items on our website, still in the process of changing the categories. Stay tune, we will continue updating in future and please feel free to ask.
And like I have mentioned, come down and have a feel of our superior premium veg tan

very nice breakdown to educate some of us who are clueless about the different styles. will drop by tomorrow to have a look. hope all is well with you!

^ even nicer to have so many selections to choose from. just like the different genre of music. this is like a genre of leather goods.

tbh, in the first place, I thought native american was all there is to leather goods. But I'm glad I discovered the different styles of leather products through OGL.

Can't wait to build my set with you guys.

Thanks, kingkongpingpong!
I'm good and it is still cold, damn it!

Most of the time, we see leather goods breaking down in long wallet, short wallet, blah, blah...even in Japanese stores.

We thought about it and decided that we should cater for people all walks of life.
And esp so for Singaporeans, who has got a hugh differences in dressing in 1 day!

We may be working in office from 9 to 5, which requires us to be in formal dressing. And after we reach home, we immediately change into shorts and tees (or even bare body). Suddenly, some friends jio for coffee at Mr. Bean, so likelihood is that, we will probably just go with casual clothings.
The point is that, wallets, belts bracelets, coin pouch, key pouch...are stuffs that add flavours to your dressing.
We hope to create things for all types of lifestyles

Want to ask all the shifu something .

This is my leather messenger from 310 woodland (veg tan)

The issue is that I use this bag everyday, but it's always under shelter or under fluoresent light. So I kind of find my current color kinda .. dirty ?

I dont know if it's evolving the correct way...

Anybody able to give some help or advise ? Like ways to remedy this ?

 

[--Lipsu--]

@en_8_en, bring it down to our workshop at Arab Street.

*edit: On second look, I think it is made by OGL instead of 310 hahah!
I remember we made this and listed it at 310 previously, so you have bought it

i would say it is nice evo, but if u have got any concern, bring it down to our workshop. Easier for us to answer you.

See this when it was new,

Posted on my blog few years ago, Obbi Good Label @ France

Yes, veg tan leather.

Of cos, veg tan has got different grades. We have just secured a deal for a superior premium veg tan leather supply. We have also made some wallets out of it. You can go to the workshop and feel for yourself
Simply amazing leather!

And yes, different parts of the leather make different things. It is very interesting to learn about it if you are interested. Join lessons to learn, LOL!

Some of the bads and hip pouch we made previously,

This one u can see at the store.

@ambivalence, we are launching bags/pouches soon. Prices will definitely be reasonable
