Charity shop find / resoration project.........

[Black Sheep]

Walked past our local hospice charity shop the other day and spotted this in the window....



With a price tag saying £4. I couldn't resist. Okay it needs a bit of work (mostly restitching the seams) and a wash and condition but I know a man who's good with leather .



The Brass latch works fine but no keys. I can see this soon becoming my new work bag. I'll post some photo's when I get it sorted.

That looks great. Easy stitching job and a pleasure to clean and feed/polish.

Will lot superb when done. An excellent piece bag.

buy more and restore more if you can, and you have the nesecerry skills(which I don't) . They're back in fashion and worth money

Nice find.
With some work it will be great to use again.

I found something similarly, but in a worse state. I will re-use the leather.
