Classy Yet Rugged. A Recent client commission shows off the classy, yet rugged style of our handcrafted leather bags. This travellers bag was constructed of heavy leather to stand up to the rigors of travel. Like this bag?

Because we do everything by hand, we really get up close and personal with most every inch of our products. That means attention to detail. #drodsondesigns. #attentiontodetail #handstitched #handmade #leatherbag #tandyleather (at Dodson Designs)

Details and extra effort. The client asked for a simple grab handle for his custom vertical messenger bag. I could have easily just used a single strip of leather for a handle. But, minimal efforts equal minimal results. So we fabricated this sturdy duty handle out of Heavyweight leather with an insert for a good hand feel. Added nice solid brass d rings and then hand stitched it all together for a durable and lovely result. #drodsondesigns #leatherbag #handmade #messengerbag #bohostyle #steampunkfashion #steampunk #lancasterpa #vetpreneurtribe #veteranowned #details #denverpa #itsallinthedetails (at Dodson Designs)

Going the extra mile for clients. Client: I'd like it to have 3 inch copper loops for the collar. Me: They don't really make them that large or in copper even close to that size. Client: I would really love them that way. Can you forge them by hand? Me: For you, I will. Because I want you to be happy. I love giving the extra effort for an appreciative client. #drodsondesigns #handmade #makersgonnamake #lancasterpa #etsy #etsyshop #handforged (at Wernersville, Pennsylvania)
