The idea from Lena from Berlin:
The customer's rating:
The wallet is very beautiful, I am happy several times a day - whenever I take it to hand. Thank you very much. And until next time!
The story of the Leather purse:
Negotiation phase
I would be happy to make this purse for you. Please find images attached and guide me into how you need the purse to be made. I can make it in full leather or we can do it with an African Fabric. The full leather one is more quality and long lasting unlike the fabric one. Let me know what you prefer so I can give my costings.
Please share with me your ideas and the dimensions of the purse. I am confident we can work together and make something beautiful and authentic.
Many Thanks
Isabel
Dear Isabel,
thanks for your mail! Can you also make a leather wallet with small African fabric applications? That would be great! The brown leather purse from the appendix is unfortunately not my case. More like the colorful one by nature. Gladly black leather with colorful fabric part to open with card compartment and change pocket, open round 24 cm long.
I'm looking forward to your suggestions!
Greetings from Berlin!

Hello, Isabel,
I like the wallet best in the first photo. Is it made entirely of fabric? Für mich gerne made of black leather with a piece of stitched-on African red / colorful fabric if possible. Otherwise also completely made of fabric.... A name does not have to be inserted - it is a gift to myself 🙂
I look forward to your suggestion!
Many greetings
Lena
Trust well!.
I have noted on your preference. I need to go to the market and try get a close match fabric to the design in the first photo. Meanwhile check the two fabrics I have inserted see if there is any you prefer.
The wallet has some parts made of black leather but most has the colorful red fabric.
Kindly awaiting your feedback.
Best regards
Isabel
Hello, Isabel,
I wish for a "typical" African fabric. See the examples I uploaded. If it is too combined with leather in the combination, I also like to take a purse only made of fabric....
Many greetings from Berlin
Lena
Trust well !
This is fine I will try and get your prefered fabric as per your photos. The last two will be readily available.
Then I can now proceed with the project.
Many thanks.
Isabel
Great! Many greetings
