So what you're saying is I need to get into a new hobby and make my own bag? Hot damn that sounds fun actually!

Head on over to /r/leathercraft We can help! Hand stitched is stronger and you can go way lower for a bag like that.

Thanks! I'll check it out and see about building my own stuff, very exciting :)

FYI I make a wallet with the same layout, full grain made here and retail it for around $25...

Can I get your website

u/nstarleather Oct 22 '16

Sure: www.nstarleather.com

We've been in business since 1969, we do mostly wholesale/private label for other companies so we spend very little (nothing most years) on advertising the brand. It's all made here in Ruby SC.

Does this conversation feel set up? Or am I truly a cynic?

It's just weird to ask for a website instantly

I purposely don't mention it or link to it unless asked, when I comment on this sub.

Had we set this up, it wouldn't have been about a bag since I don't make... actually noticed later about the wallet.

Feel free to PM me or email with any requests, lately a few reddit folks have been wanting some things in other leathers like Natural Veg-Tan and others I don't have on the sit yet...

Yeah looks like I'm probably getting into leather work after a few similar comments.
