*** I just added another bag that I updated. Scroll down to see the before & after shots. ***
I had this satchel that I really liked. Unfortunately, it was kind of heavy when it was empty. Naturally, I rarely carried it.
It wasn’t until I officially put the bag in the “to go to Goodwill” group that I felt the need to try to work with it...
I removed the lining and pretty, extraneous leather that added to the bag’s weight. Then I added side grommets and braided suede lacing to limit the floppy drape of the side panels.
Next, I reattached an inner pocket and added my funky color treatment (to take it from conservative to the next level).
I’ll finish it off with a sealer and leather conditioning.
Update: I just added a little funky tweak to another bag...
