- Best pattern sheet?In Beginner's Corner22 April 2021Hi Chaesu, not a silly question at all. We use 0.8mm thick bonded leather at the atelier.

- Is this real Saffiano ?In Help! How do I...31 December 2024This isnt Saffiano, it is what is referred to as "Epsom" (actually Hermes's name for it). There is no such thing as "real" epsom as there are many tanneries that produce this exact embossed finish. The back side is the flesh side of the leather, nothing is glues to it. You see like a pattern to it from the embossing process and what you see as the top layer from the back where its cut is the heavily coated and embossed top layer of the skin. Hope this helps.22
- Tailor made hardwareIn Help! How do I...22 June 2024Hello, I design my own hardware for my handbag brand Cecily Clune and use Maya Metal in China. Their quality is first class. They can design it with you if it is simple but for more complex designs, I had to use an industrial designer and send the file to them to execute and then it was a process of finding the best practical method of attachments to make it work. It took several attempts but they are very patient. Libby Thomson12
- Thread tricksIn Beginner's Corner24 July 2024Hi Cathy, Yes it is very tightly twisted. The trick is to make sure and pinch it with one hand and with the other hand twist it but make sure you pinch only a few mm away from where you other hand is pinching it. this way you really force the twist only in this small part.12

- Hand press and cutting diesIn Help! How do I...·25 June 2021Does anyone have experiences with a hand press and (small) cutting dies? For details and smaller items. If so what (and where) did you get it and how do you like it? Both the press and the dies? I have used a clicker press before during an internship but it was huge and something like that won’t fit in my atelier. And I just need it for smaller items. I know @atelierpeternitz has recommended Industrial Design Concept on Instagram but I’m not sure if they sell a hand press so I would like to know what is available and recommended. I have also seen a hand press on the website of Mando. Has anyone used this and what are your thoughts? Thank you in advance.02150
