Portsmith - Graues Custom Bag Maker Kit

The leather straps feel way sturdier than the ones on my old store-bought tote, and they've already softened up after a week of daily use. Everything in the kit came sorted and labeled, so I had it assembled in an afternoon without hunting for extra parts.

The metal hardware on this kit is heavier than I expected, which makes the finished tote feel like something I'd pay full price for in a store. Straps took me a bit to attach, but honestly the whole thing came together in an afternoon and I've used it every day since.

The leather straps feel genuinely sturdy, not flimsy like some kits I've tried, and the metal hardware snapped together cleanly. I've carried it every day for two weeks now and it still looks sharp.
