The finishing on the straps is not well done. The zip is hard to open. The beading wasn’t done as neatly as I wanted and the size was too big for a passport holder.” — Valerie Baumeister Berlin-Mitte, Germany (10. September 2020)
Passport holder made of leather in cognac colour

A request by Christina from Berlin-Mitte, Germany

I would like to order a passport holder made of leather in cognac colour. It should have some beaded detailing across the front and maybe a leather tassel on the side to make it unique. It should also have a leather strap so that I can hang it around my neck in order to access it easily while travelling with luggage.

Hello Christina, I have uploaded the final stage of the production of your passport bag. Sorry for delays ,we had to get some other materials for further stage

Claude Mwenedata (5. February 2020)

i have shared the clear photos. Thank you

Valerie Baumeister (9. February 2020)

Hello Claude

The reason I had asked for clear photos is becuase I had asked for the colour of the passport holder to be cognac and not beige as pictured above. I had also asked for mixed colours for the beading and the former craftsman had suggested different colours none of them being black and gold. And when i look at the beading it looks like it's only attached on the ends and haning in the middle meaning that there's a higher chance of it breaking off.
So all in all I am not happy with the end result becuase the only thing that remotely fits with what was agreed on is the leather tassel hanging on the side. Everything else is wrong. I would appreciate it if the above points are rectified.
Thanks.

Claude Mwenedata (13. February 2020)

Hello Christina,
I am sorry for the mistake I made. On the market I have been lacking leather with that color you want. But hopefully this day we have found this color. It's cognac but a little but dark. What do you think of it? I want to use it to reproduce. About the beads, I want to use that ring of multicolor of bead and tail it nicely in middle and front of your bag. The final result should appear like the last example photo showing beads in middle. Thank you to give me another chance to make the perfect passport bag for you.

Claude Mwenedata (13. February 2020)

Hello Christina,

I would like to apologize for the mistake I did with colors and beads. I am going to use cognac color which a little bit dark as shown of photos. I am going to sew on front and middle of the bag that ring of beads in multicolour. I would really like to make your passport bag to the perfection.

Thank you

Valerie Baumeister (22. February 2020)

Hello Claude.
The leather is fine.
Do you have another combination of beading? I don’t like the ones you attached. I think you can also do a stripe down the middle like in the picture I have attached. It doesn’t have to be a circle. It doesn’t necessarily have to be in the colours in the picture I have posted but as long as it goes well with the leather.

Hello Claude.
Thank you for the adjustment of the beads.
The first picture showing the back was done in good lighting. However the rest of the pictures are so dark. I would appreciate a few more pictures in better lighting before shipping. Thanks

Claude Mwenedata (3. March 2020)

Hello Christina,

I have took the photos for the bag. I hope this time they are enough light.

Claude

Hello Claude

Thanks. That’s fine.
