Portsmith - Persimmon Custom Bag Maker Kit

The metal hardware feels way more solid than I expected for a kit like this, and the leather straps have already softened up after a week of daily use. Took me an afternoon to assemble but now it's the bag I grab every single morning.

Sewing the leather straps on took me longer than I expected, but once they were attached the bag felt genuinely sturdy. It's already replaced my old canvas tote for errands, and the metal hardware hasn't shown any wobble yet.

The leather straps on this thing are seriously sturdy, and the metal hardware gives it a polished finish you wouldn't expect from a DIY kit. Everything I needed was in the box, so assembly was straightforward. My new go-to tote for sure.
