Eigentlich hatte ich vor nur eine einfache und größere Tasche anzufertigen. Doch ein paar Ideen später war ich dann doch bei nun über 50 Stunden Arbeitszeit angelangt.. Vermutlich wird es daher schwer einen Käufer zu finden..aber wenn nicht behalte ich sie selber als Ausstellungsstück.

Maße ca.: 32cm x 7cm x 25cm
Gewicht: ca. 1200g

Hochwertiges Rindsleder, von Hand gefärbt und vernäht. Innenfutter aus hellbraunem Leder.

Frontdeckel verziert mit extra angefertigter Kupferplatte mit antiken Zahnrädern aus echten Uhren sowie mit punziertem Muster antiker Gründerzeit Schlagstempel. Auf der Platte angebrachtes Fläschen mit pulsierender Pigmentflüssigkeit ( sieht wie Quecksilber aus) In dem Fläschen befindet sich eine Schreibfeder. 

Massive und auffällige Taschenverschlüsse mit extra angefertigten und geätzen Messing Plaketten zur verstärkten Befestigung

Innenfront verziert mit antiken Buckrücken um 1900 ( inspiriert durch alte Bücherschränke) und umrandet von punzierter Ledereinfassung.
Aufwendige Innentasche aus altem Buchdeckel verziert mit Buchfetzen und einem Schnappverschluß und einem Totenkopf.

Oberer Taschenhenkel ist einer von nur 2 Stück . Diese Henkel sind Originalgriffe eines Schrankes um 1920. Messing und eine Einlage aus Bakelit

Komplette Tasche in 4-6 Schichten gefärbt und lackiert für antiken und abgegriffenen Look.

I am actually confused on whether this holds actual books or is decorated to look like it holds books. If it doesn't..i'm just slightly dissapointed as i am a book lover and would love a bag like that. But I'm still amazed by everything else, it's a marvelous bag..

Sorry for Confusing!  And it is decorated / inspired by a founder time bookshelf so that it "looks like" it holds book. Actually the books were real books from around 1900 ( "Goethe + Schiller" ) But so you can put your own books in the bag and don´t have to read boring german poets ( we had to read them 12 years in school..so may the literatur good merciful with me

Ahaha it's fine And I love poetry so I would have not minded reading those books :3 (I used to speak german when I was a little kid...even though now i dont remember absolutely anything) Also back in my italian school you still have to read very old poems so i know the feeling XD but I really didn't mind Also, I woudl put fables, encyclopedias or even my drawing notebooks in that bag and take them to the park and read them...sigh..i am day dreaming of this bag xD

...and that submitted way to early. Sorry, having technical malfunctions. Anyway, I'm curious as to how much something like this might cost? I love it!

Also it is a unique piece and still available, i guess its difficult to sell because of the time i needed for this bag. 51hours working time. I usually count with 15 euro/20 USD per hour for my work + around 120 Euro/ 166 USD material costs.

Therefore, I would need to sell it for at least 900 Euro/ 1250 USD. And i am still not famous as Gucci or Prada  So i guess i keep it as a show piece to show people what is "possible" when i make something for custom order. But usually Bags of this size cost around 400-550 Euro/ 500-700 USD  or even 300 euro/420 USD when i keep it much simpler and without these special varnish, without inner lining and not so much ornate design.
