Making Leather Bags, Wallets, and Cases: 20+ Projects with Contemporary Style

The book is well written and organized. As an artist I admire the minimalistic contemporary timeless designs. The author, Yasue has done an excellent job creating something that is relatively easy to produce with a little guidance from the book. It's almost difficult to explain how well these projects are designed. They are functional, proportionally, and ergonomically correct. If you were to change one single angle it would destroy the design. The hardware and tools used to produce a professional project are minimal making these projects good for for the novice to the experienced. From an artistic standpoint producing a minimalistic design isn't as easy as it appears. It may be a simple project however it's a simple project that should be done perfectly and I think Yasue Tsuchihira has nailed it. If you like the authors designs this is a great book.

I happen to know the author personally through her official brand, Urukust. I was amazed to discover this book. Tsuchihira-san is an extremely talented design and craftsman, she shares some fantastic designs in this book and gives simple easy to follow instructions on how to actually make them. Japanese designers and craftsmen don't often share their designs and techniques, having access to this book is a privilege - don't miss it while it is still available!

Excellent book with clear instructions about making leather items you would actually want to make and use. Can't believe how good value it is.

Great book. I’ve made two of the items and very pleased with instructions as I am a complete novice.

This book is a very useful tool for my new hobby. The patterns at the back of the book are full size and I can copy them very quickly and easily. Plus the separate sections allow me to first see what the project should look like and then the instructions allow me to see if I can accomplish the project and finally the patterns allow me to start the project.
