Introduction.

Hang your little buddy lickety-split and go anywhere!

This smart pochette combines different colors of leather and fits a smartphone perfectly. It is perfect for a short outing or when you want to carry hand luggage. It also works well as a point of reference for simple coordinates, so having one will surely make your daily outings more glamorous and convenient.

At first glance, it may look difficult because of the many processes involved, but it can be made using the basic leather craft processes of "cutting," "drilling," and "sewing," and you can also learn how to attach metal fittings such as clasps and tabs. When drilling holes for the gusset, you will need a small rubber plate since a rubber plate is inserted between the gusset and the gusset.
