Custom Hand-Sewn Bag from Simon Baker and Full Review - Page 4

Looks great - congrats. Is the color London Tan, or something a bit more yellow-ish?

Goddamn. That's spectacular.

That is really beautiful.

That's a beautiful purse.  My wife would love it.  

Does your wife have an Adams apple?

When it shows up, take some white-balanced pictures for us, so we can see the true color.

Of course he does.  

This must be the bag to end all discussions on strap bags. At this price I'm sure there cannot be a better deal anywhere.

Very pretty bag, looking forward to the in-person review and pics!

Off the back of Patek's amazing looking case - I've placed an order with Simon.

I'm fortunate enough to own a SAB Westminster case in London Tan with full wraparound straps, so will have a pretty solid benchmark to compare it against.

To provide something a little different to the SAB, I've ordered a short strapped briefcase in Sedgwick Dark Havana bridle leather. 3 compartments (with the centre compartment a little larger than the others to accomodate bulky items). Full size rear pocket. Chrome plated brass hardware. Shoulder strap,

Here's a sample of the Dark Havana leather. I was expecting something near black based on Sedgwick's website, but the sample is just the shade of brown I was after:





And a selection of chrome locks to choose from:



Hopefully will be completed by the end of January - will keep this thread updated with pics (that Simon is kind enough to send you as your order progresses).
