Planning Your Bag Project

Berwick Cow Leather is intended for bag making. Consider it for handbags, totes, satchels and pouches, checking the leather against the structure and feel you want in your finished design.

For a bag that needs to stand upright, plan your lining and reinforcement alongside the outer leather. The final shape depends on your pattern, panel size, seams and construction, as well as the leather itself.

Before cutting, lay out all pattern pieces together. Keep paired panels facing the same direction and allow for any visible natural variation. Save suitable offcuts for small tabs, zip pulls or test stitching.

Working with Berwick Cow Leather

Test your needle, thread and stitch length on an offcut before sewing the main panels. Check the combined thickness at folded edges and seam intersections, especially where several layers overlap.

Try any adhesive, edge treatment or conditioner on a small spare piece first. This helps you assess its appearance before applying it to visible areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size should I order?
Compare your complete pattern layout with the available piece options. Area alone does not guarantee that a particular panel will fit.

Are all sides identical?
No. Leather is a natural material, so shape, area and surface appearance can vary between pieces.

Can I choose a colour?
Yes. Select Black, Saddle Tan or Coffee from the available options.
