This leather tote was created specifically for a "Custom Made" project. The client, from San Francisco, wanted a tote to carry her new computer (a Mac) and a couple other things. After a short description of what she wanted, I sent her photos of leather selections and she chose this dark oiled cow hide. She'd provided dimensions for the project which We changed the throughout the process to fit her needs and ended up with this as the final product (11x13x3 - 10" handle drop. The process from start to finish was about a week. The cost to her was $112 including shipping. This is a one of a kind piece that was designed by the client with a little help from me.. Leather was hand selected by me allowing her to make the final choice.. I cut the leather to size, punched holes, double stitched and here is the final product - a beautiful, unique computer bag, that is sturdy and fashionable and great for everyday use.

For Leather Tote / Carryall Or Leather ClutchesI could not be happier with my bag and the experience I had working with Delta. The leather tote bag she made me is exactly what I was hoping for. She involved me in every part of the process, from picking out the leather, to the rivets, strap length, thread color, and exact dimensions - I really felt my bag come alive. I submitted payment on a Tuesday and had the bag by the following Monday. She was super quick, professional, and fun to work with. I have already told all my friends about her, and have gotten tons of compliments on my bag already! I would highly recommend Delta and her work to anyone with no reservations.
