Leather Raw Material

[johnnytheboy]

I seen a few bags made out of leather with a little drawstring on the top, some are for storing coffee etc others just for odds and sods, i fancied making one, does anyone know where i could get the raw materials, thread, thicker leather for drawstring, the leather for the pouch itself and any tools i might need

Yes! - Pick the right bags and you get great fittings, buckles etc as well!
Oh yes - it is eco friendly as it is recycled!
