One of my first accomplishments for 2013 was an unexpected one, creating my first leather bag from scratch, well almost from scratch. My desire to do so came a few days before Christmas as I was walking though the airport with my worn-out canvas overnight bag, admiring everyone else (okay maybe not everyone) with they're cool carry-on bags of leather. I've never invested in a nice overnight bag or duffle and I was sorely wishing I had. At this point, I just told myself I had to go on a mission to find a good bag that could carry enough for a weekend and still look uber chic without breaking my piggy bank.
