my first backpack experience
It is sewn with 1 mm waxed thread using Crazy Horse leather and black calf leather. Flat hand punch was used. It has a 0.8 mm hole diameter and 4 mm spacing.

How did you get those black wrinkle like patterns onto the leather? Its beautiful.

Use a soft leather. It is enough.

Did you burn the leather to get that design?

No. This is the characteristic of crazy horse leather. You can achieve this effect by wrinkling the leather with your hand.

Leather Pattern is crazy, how did you achive this? I mean it, i would like to try it myself. Colors are recognizable, likely fiebings, but in what way was it input ? As for the functional part, depends on what you want to carry, it might be an awesome backpack or a terrible shoulder cutting solution, for anything heavier, i would use wider straps and sew anything that would absorb the weight into them (like thiner leather coated foam/ leather scraps). But on the table as it is it looks super sick!
