Dismantling and documenting the bag
The first job is to have a good look at the bag and document everything as you dismantle it, hopefully in the correct order. Take loads of photos as you do this.
So here is the bag as it stands, the leather is totally rotted and is beyond repair even the handle has gone BUT we can re use the frame and learn about its construction as we dismantle it.

    A lot of my income comes from bespoke orders and teaching courses.
    With Covid -19 the courses have had to stop and the bespoke orders have also diminished somewhat. But I have gained time, time to start repairing, restoring and remaking a lot of antique bags I have picked up over the years.
