DIY Leather Cross Body Satchel Kit

Are you a keen crafter, or ready to take up a new hobby? We’ve got you covered. Our DIY Kits have been created for you to make from the comfort of your home - no specialist tools or experience required.  

Made for you 

If you don't fancy making this kit yourself, we'll make it for you! Just choose 'made for you' after selecting your colour and hardware type (there's a small extra charge for this).

Craft it Yourself! 

No specialist tools or prior experience required.

The Process

This DIY Bag Kit is ideal for ALL - from total beginners to confident makers - you CAN make your own luxury leather bag at home.

This is a perfect introductory DIY Kit to start your journey into leather work and bag making and arrives complete with everything you need to make your own luxury leather bag at home. 

Have fun learning the basics of leather craft (for accessories), with introduction to techniques including: application of wax and edge finishing, screw rivets, hand stitching on leather, and bag construction. Simply follow the included step-by-step instructions to craft your own cross body satchel bag. And, most importantly, enjoy the process. 

Inside your kit, you will find pre-cut leather pieces which require you to finish with a wax (included). You will rivet and sew the leather to complete your satchel. 

If you have a small flat head screwdriver, this will be helpful, although it is not essential.

To make the kit suitable for home construction, some work has been done for you. Don’t worry though, there is still plenty left for you to turn your creative energy to. 

The Bag

The satchel bag has a flap and buckle closure and one long adjustable cross body strap. It is a raw edge construction to give a boxy look and completed in a buttery soft vegetable-tanned leather which results in a supple yet structured piece. 

The bag is unlined meaning you can enjoy the natural grain and quality of this beautiful Tuscan leather. 

The size ensures ample space for all your essentials.

The dimensions of the small satchel are H 190mm x W 245mm x D 90mm, and it will be the same construction as the bag in the product photos.

Material, Care & Repair

Material

Here at Hands of Tym, we are passionate about sourcing the highest quality sustainable materials. 

We use responsibly-sourced Italian vegetable-tanned leather. Find out more here. Using only the highest quality cuts, the leather will improve with use and age, developing a soft patina over time. Natural variations are a product feature of this material and contribute to the individual style of the product. The leather is free from harmful chemicals and biodegradable at the end of its life. 

Please note, leather is a natural product and the colour and texture can vary from the product shown in the images. Please get in touch if you would like colour swatches.

Care

Please note: There may be natural changes in the colour of the materials and they may stain easily. Please be careful with oils and inks. 

When not in use, store your product in a soft cloth bag in a cool and dry place. 

Repair

When you buy from Hands of Tym, you’re getting so much more than your new purchase. You’re creating a connection with the maker - Georgie Tym. 

If your leather product becomes damaged (after all, life happens), contact us and we can talk about repair options. 

Bespoke options

Bespoke additions to this DIY Kit are possible at an extra cost - please get in touch for a quote.
