One case, two faces. In chocolate English bridle leather, the Wallace 2209 is photographed bare, with only its flap and lock, and again with two buckled straps across the front.
An earlier Wallace 2220 in London tan English bridle leather, with an army green suede shoulder strap and pockets inside. Made at Marcellino NY.
Practicing on scrap leather saves the good hide. One strap end, step by step: where the bevel, the holes, the seam and the dye go wrong when nothing is tested.
Painted edges peel. Burnished ones don’t. Inside the hand process that finishes a bridle leather briefcase edge — and why it’s worth the extra hours.
Festive, cocktail or business casual? How to read the invite, dress for a New York office holiday party, and what to do with the work bag.
Thickness first, then the hand, then the flesh side, then the marks. A briefcase maker on reading a leather bend at the rack, and why a spotless one can lie.
The newest Wallace 2209 in dark chocolate English bridle leather, with an engraved brass lock plate, buckled straps and a shoulder strap. Marcellino NY.
