How to Make a Leather Bag // DIY TUTORIAL 

My brothers dont even acknowledge my existence... somebody get him a brother of the year award.

Such a beautiful bag, the design, the attention to line flow, and the handle design. Looks like a $500 bag in some department store (if not more) and no were new the quality of materials or construction. And the pink is a gorgeous color, especially with the white thread and the contrasting brass rivets. And such an easy pattern, when you know what you are doing. ;-) :-) And the snap closure, actually ended up being a really nice addition!!!!

i come back to this video every so often. its just such a comforting video idk

I swear, if Covid is over, I want to go over to your place and take a Leathermanship course with you.

She’s going to love her bag!!! Especially because it’s a Corter original💕

Love your tutorials SO feakin much, I've leaned so much from them! So happy that you're showing us larger projects.

The design of this bag is outstanding! You have an excellent eye for design and I love the flow of this bag. Your channel is one of the best discoveries I've ever made on youtube! I truly appreciate you two for putting yourselves out there and welcoming us into your studio, it's always a great time. Thank you Corter Leather!

I find it funny how in younger years one will argue down about what is thought to be “correct” and then later realize your guides knowledge was actually more beneficial. I love the sound of growth. Glad to hear you express that and thank you for this tutorial. I’ll keep this close.

What in the world have I been buying all these years??? You rounded sharp corners sanded them & waxed them!! You are a G for sharing your techniques. I’m interested in leather works. Thanks.

I recreated this bag and had so much fun. You all are such an inspiration to me. Thank you so much for the fantastic content!

This is super informative, but it’s also just oddly relaxing/satisfying to watch something so pretty be made from start to finish. I’m nowhere near skilled enough to attempt a project like this yet, but I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. Also, being the girly girl I am, that pink color is just sooooo gorgeous! What an amazing gift for your sister!

You know, i love the fact the tool he uses just a simple diamond pricking iron which is cheaper than french pricking iron and still give a beautiful finish. Same with other tools he uses. No fancy high end tools that is expensive to own. Thanks for keeping it simple. And love the pink on this tote bag.

It was really helpful to go along with you as you explained the why’s and how’s of making a bag especially the shape of the pocket... that was such a small thing but actually smart as heck. It would have looked really odd otherwise. Once again you knocked it outta the park!

I never wanted to own a pink bag until now. Great job...your a good brother!

I'm a very manly dude... That's a beautiful bag. Cheers.

This is lovely to watch - thank you! My mum had a gorgeous “bucket” bag like this back in the 60’s - wish I still had it

YES!!!!!! THE CONTENT NOT THAT WE DESERVED BUT NEEDED!!

Omg!!! What a gorgeous bag I had never seen a bag be made. You did an amazing job thank you so much for sharing your talent with us!!!

What a gorgeous birthday bag, your sister is sure to love it. I really enjoyed watching the creation and the explanation of why you chose to make certain decisions.

Lol. My daughter had a mantra 'Pink, my favorite colour'. When she was younger she recited this every time she saw something pink. Didn't matter where we were or who was around. Nice pressie.

Great walk through of making the pattern. Started leather working couple months ago and this was really helpful! Came out great, sure your sister will love it.

Thank you for sharing your train of thought when building this bag. I love to hear about all the decision trees you go through to help you make decisions and choices. Gracias

This is beautiful. I'm glad you added the snap at the end because it's more secure. Would love to see another bag if you make one.

Wow! So beautiful! I’m a newer sewer so I love watching videos for things I’ve never made. You can learn a lot from these types of videos even if you never plan on making anything like it. The process was amazing to watch and the bag came out stunning! I’m sure your sister absolutely loved the bag!

You’re an absolute genius and I thank you for sharing your knowledge in such and easy to understand way. I’d love to make something like this one day! Gorgeous!

Dude, the quality of the content is so good here. Thank you

That's a very nice bag! Thank you for taking us along and explaining everything so calmly. I feel like you're a teacher that just wants to see his pupils succeed, lovely :)

Wow, this is so cool! and so sweet of you to make this for your sister. This is so beautiful and well-crafted!

So simple so beautiful, I want to make this in a rustic dark brown for myself! Thanks for your videos!

Fabulous bag! Your sister must have been delighted with it. Not just the bag but the time, effort and skill you put into making it for her!

I really really like how the inverted folds create a solid, standing bottom for the bag. Very nice!

for a beginner, this is a precise tutorial. Thank you! that bag is elegantly beautiful 💝

It’s enjoyable to see how you make this bag with your explanation, clear and informative! Thanks for your sharing 👍🙏and l’m sure your wife will love it!💕

What a lovely gift. Handmade is always special.

Absolutely beautiful. .your sister is so lucky having a wonderful brother..I just love the care and attention to detail that you put into the making of the bag/purse..brilliant. .Jxx 💚💕

Beautiful bag! I'm a quiltmaker and I really appreciate the attention to detail. Like the angled front pocket, which is brilliant. I'm sure your sister loved her gift.

You're so amazing dude. I've learned a lot from you, thx so much for everything.

It's one in the morning I'm stitching a belt and watching a video on how to make a tote bag and it feels totally normal 😁 thx for taking time out of your day to post and share your talent with us beginners 👍

You are wonderful at instructional and video display. You have inspired me 👛 I will post when I’m done 💖💖💖

I agree your bag design is fantastic, it's simple, functional, and probably last for a long time. Nice job.

Yess, I loved this video. Turned out really nice! Makes me want to buy pink leather hahhaha

Awesome tutorial!! Love how you explained and showed everthing.

Loving the simplicity and sentiment! Your sister is going to love this.

Oh boy, do I truly hope your sister appreciates her handmade bag, that has truly been made and stitched with love, just for her. I love cross body bags because it leaves my hands free to use my walking sticks. One beautiful bag, in a beautiful colour. Sending crafty hugs your way from Central Scotland.

Gorgeous bag! Love everything about it! Thank you for the fabulous tutorial...

I just finished making this bag for my wife, it was my first bag after a few wallets. I have to tell you it turned out wonderful thanks only to your great video and explanations. I kept coming back over and over to each section as I got to it and watched/listened to how you did specific things and was so helpful. I did not put the strap on at the end but it was surprising to me how great it turned out. I'm going to keep making this bag over and over, it's such a beautiful bag as others have described. After I finished this last night, both daughters demanded one as did my wife's friends who saw the end product. This should keep my hobby busy for a while, thanks to you.

Thank you for talking in your video! Nothing is more aggravating for newbies than a video of someone doing leatherwork without explaining what they are doing and why. I loved your video, it was very informative and made me feel like maybe I want to try my hand a making something like this. Beautiful bag!

What an utterly beautiful bag for a lucky sister. So well explained, crafted with attention to detail! Id like one of these bags now. I was in a trance watching it being made!

Excellent tutorial! I’m not a pink person but I sure love this pink bag!

Love this tutorial. I need to learn how to do more 'freestyle' leather work so I'm not so dependent on patterns. Subbed

You have completely inspired me to learn more and start making things in leather. Wow, thank you so much. x

It's so satisfying watching someone create a beautiful piece like this from scratch. Makes me want to learn this skill

I love making bags and would love to learn this craft - I think my hubby would kill me to start another new craft!

Great tutorial, I'll prob use the 'make your own design' idea for a Christmas gift. I've done a number of tote bags in fabric, but never in leather.

Amazing video, the finish bag looks so beautiful, thank you for sharing all your tips with us, you are a great artisan.

So sweet of you. My brother and I are very close. He does nice things for me too. I love him. I imagine your sister was thrilled and will treasure you and the bag forever

I wish you were my brother.......

This purse is bitching. I love it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and time with the internet. You are amazing. Subscribed clicked the bell will check out your site and see what else there is. Never enough thanks sir.

Your craftsmanship is truly Amazing! Thank you for sharing!

😍😍😍 Now that it’s finished, that pocket looks huge!!! L❤️VE IT! My favorite color.

That pink is absolutely incredible, I'm so jealous

I really appreciate the part where he mentions, because there are no other squares on the bag, shaping the pocket would make it look more balanced. I'm a graphic artist and similarly you can always tell great design when all the shapes and elements tend to follow the overall look and theme. Shows this guy really knows his stuff! I've seen many big brand companies slap a square slab pocket on the front of their curved handbags and I just facepalm.

Loved the video! It's so satisfying to see the pieces come together. You're a great brother,never let your sister down!

Some gift has more value than another. This one got the sentimental value to it. Beautiful handbag made with love and care.

I love it! How would you add a lining? How about the cross body strap you talked about?

The fastest 31 minutes of My life! Thanks for teaching like this! Greetings from México!

Beautiful I have planned to make a bag for 2 years .bought fabric .but now I will start.thanks.

Very well done man. You took a lot of the mystery out of figuring out the design. Nice how you paid attention to the detail of angling the side pocket. I would have looked that over until I finished it and saw how awkward it would have looked. Thanks for the video. You have a great way of helping me think about form along with quality craftsmanship.

I don't even know if the tut is good, but I clicked the like button as soon as he said "It's my sister's birthday and she loves pink..."

Man, this is beautiful and simple at same time ... I LOVE IT ❤️❤️❤️ (Need another sister to adopt? lol )

You did great work! I'm so happy I found this video. I've never worked with leather before, however a family friend does, I may pay him a visit and try my hand at this pattern. SO EXCITED! Thank you for sharing!

So stunning... quite sure all the Barbie fans going around these hectic days would love to catwalk such an adorable and cute bag. You made the step by step instructions really mesmerizing. Congratulations! 🎉🎉🎉

Awesome bag! I thought you were going to add a long strap. Would be perfect with a long strap. Love to make my wife something like this...

Goegeous bag. I need a brother. Wait, my mother's always telling me that I do have one

I love this bag so much. And your workmanship is just awesome! !

I'd LOVE a bag like that!! Thank you, so fascinating to watch

Wow, I learned so much from this video. This is the next thing I’ll make!

What a beautiful bag 😍! Thanks for the tutorial. I am just a beginner and wanted to ask what size of beveler you are using in this video?? Thank you for your answer in advance

You can add rings at either end to add a detachable thin strap and make it more versatile. Your videos are great!! Just your voice explaining , the sounds of the tools being used, even the thread as the item is being stitched can be heard. Making something by hand is satisfying to watch. Thank you.

Beautiful bag and craftsmanship. What a sharp, stylish bag. Just my style of bag. Enjoyed watching this. Thank you.

WOW! You are an amazing maker. LOVE your bag, and tutorial ! How long in real time did it take to make this beautiful bag? Also, what would you charge for it ?

Really well done. I'm going to make this as a gift, Where did you purchase the leather?

The most beautiful bag… congratulations. I’m going to make it. Thank you💐💐💐💐💐💐

This is so beautiful! I have never made a bag before, but your instructions are so thorough, I think I’m going to try!

I literally screamed when I saw this bag.

Can I adopt you as my brother?😅 In all seriousness though, thank you for this tutorial! Amazing work

You made a beautiful bag! Seems like so much work, much more than making a bag from material or vinyl. Thank you for the video!

Wow! Your sister is so blessed. Thank you for sharing. I learned some very helpful technigues.

I love this bag, it’s beautiful tempted to have a go but just in case do you make them to order?

This makes me want to start making my own line of purses. I just have no idea the materials I would need to get in order to get started.

The result is just brilliant! Your explanation of everything was very easy to follow! I think that if I had the correct tools I could make one myself!! Thank you for sharing! I am sure your sister will love it!! For Christmas you can make her a matching wallet!

Really great video! You're probably the best leatherworker / tutor there is on the tubes! 😄👍

Beautiful bag 😍 I think you should have added some feet on the bottom but other than that amazing job 👌🏻

Do you know if weaver carries this leather. I don't see it on their site anywhere. The only pink they have is suede, and I'd want to get the veg tanned.

I absolutely love this bag, pink is my favourite. The details are amazing, a job well done!

You are very gifted!!!Thank you for this video...Greece loves you!

Excellent tutorial, thank you, given me some ideas, (won’t be pink though) did you say you were going to put a cross body strap on it?

Did I miss something? I thought you were also having a crossbody strap. Beautiful bag!

You are really good when working with leather. I enjoyed watching you. You explained every juncture of the process so throughly. The bag is absolutelybeautiful. You know what we as women love. That pink bag also drew me totally in. Thank you.

Pink and earth tones are my favorite colors. I need one of those with my logo. Beautiful
