working + fast trip


Hello, Friends!
There's been a while since my last post ... you may be probably thinking I've forgot I have a blog, but I did not, and here I am :-)
During these weeks I've been searching for the new leather, I've found it, and I've been testing and making a new edición of my bags. I've told here before I wanted to make some changes, like sturdier handles and straps, and reinforced structure. I´ve had designed this new edición before starting "making" nothing,  but it was improved while I was with both hands on the work, much more than what I planned before starting. It always happens the same to me: when I'm really "making" something, I have a better idea, or I realise I can do something in a better way. And there´s an extra fact I always consider, and is that almost all of my customers are overseas: that makes me want my bags to be really light. This way the shipping will be a bit cheaper, and they will be more confortable to wear too. Well, the new edition will be finally available in the shop this week.
Appart from work, I've been away from home last week, in a short trip to Buenos Aires to visit my family. We are also enjoying an increíble weather here, with sunny days and nice temperatures... summer is turning softer while it says good bye. Thanks God we have autumn, because I'm not ready for winter yet!
Well Friends, hope you all have a good week!
