Palmer and Sons Leather Suitcase No 03 XXS Prototype Custom Interior
Palmer and Sons Leather Suitcase No 03 XXS Prototype Custom Interior
Hi so last week saw the newest addition to Palmer and Sons Leather Luggage line.
The baby of the family Suitcase No 03 XXS..it’s about as little as this construction method can get at little more than 10” x 8” x 3.5” it was great fun to make. It’s also in my newest leather which is a VegTan 10oz Bridle Hide in “English Tan” colour. I also shipped in two further colors, Havana Brown and a Soft Black. I hope that all the suitcases and bags in the line may be able to use the four colors but it will take some design and prototyping work first before i am satisfied they are
good enough quality.
Typically my suitcases and bag are left unlined. Lining is a time consuming step and often in backside of the leather is really good enough. But this week i decided i would try out a very opulent interior and also to customise the interior with a cradle that would hold all the items in the bag in place if it were to be opened whilst not laid down.
I am pretty pleased with the prototype...but remember this is a rough prototype not the perfect item a customer would be delivered. Our prototypes intentionally get handled roughly to work out any possible weaknesses. It looks great, works well, and the opulence of the heavy Chinese Silk Brocade lining is just something you do not see in any bags or suitcases.
I love it..;o)
