i soaked the leather in water for half an hour to get it to tighten. then i molded it into its final shape. 

no glue needed.

thank you for giving me this opportunity.
i made chopsticks' sleeves for the thai-themed table that da + kirsten created 
for dining by design, a charity event in princeton.

exterior,

vegetable tanned leather

i think the sleeves could also work beautifully for letters or papers... or anything else that could use wrapping
 

at the venue

just adorable. they're three and five, exactly same ages as my nieces. 
my nieces are more than 6000 miles away. my sister sends me their pics almost every day. 
my iphone's bursting but i can't stand to erase them... 

hope these bags will be filled with candy.
trick or treat!

professor moon, an 'autumn woman' if there ever was one,

ordered a big tote bag for this season.

exterior, khaki calf skin + brown lamb suede + light brown cow skin

i love the tote bag. whether it's to the market, at the library, 
in the cafe, it hangs on my shoulder.

i like them oversized and supple. good to tote magazines, books... baguettes.

exterior, italian lamb skin + vachetta leather

interior, silky pig suede

inspired by... a paper bag

finally all assembled

it was a my best buddy in   b a r c e l o n a.

something more than a briefcase, a work bag with archival edge. 
oversize pockets on both sides. big enough to carry my 15" macbook pro. super light.

exterior, matte black goat

interior, black canvas

the hardware i bought in paris. such a beautiful object. 

a brass plumbing fixture.

i couldn't wait to see it on my bag.
