Philip is an avid chess player, who carries his travelling chess set with him frequently. He wanted a made to measure box bag that would protect his set while on the move.
The bag was made up in Dark Havana English bridle leather from Sedgwicks, lined with dark red nappa and hand stitched in dark brown waxed linen thread. It was a snug fit for the board to prevent it slipping around, and had a removable should strap for easy transportation. I just love working with clients to make a product that really provides them with the bag that works for them.
I loved working on this project for him. Don’t just take it from me, here is what he had to say.
“I wanted to get a bespoke bag made to put my travel chess board in.
From the beginning, communications were excellent and Steph understood what I was looking to achieve. We met at Steph’s studio and she took me through every aspect of the process so that I had the opportunity to chose exactly how the bag would look and it was amazing to be able to see all the options available. Nothing was to much trouble and Steph was clearly passionate about the work she does.
Having selected what I wanted, Steph gave a clear time-line for the project and we remained in close contact leading up to the final manufacturing phase. During this time Steph emailed me with images of the work being undertaken which was really kind and gave me a clear pitcure of how things were shaping up.
Once complete, I was able to pick up the bag in person and even had the strap sized and finished on the spot to ensure that everything was just right.
The bag is of the highest quality and to say that it is beautiful is doing it no justice at all. I am using it every day and it is a joy to have and appreciate.
I could not recommend Steph enough to anyone that is looking to have something made out of leather or to ensure that the leather gift they are getting is one that will be treasured for years to come.
I will be going to her again in the future; that is certain.”
