girdle bag

Ask anything

Laszlo Jakab asked

Dear Sir or Madame

I am writting to you, as a re-enactor/amature but enthusiest leather crafeter, who would like to get more information and photos about this gridle bag, if it is possible. I would like to make its exact replica, and it would be nice to have some pictures from e.g. the inside of the purse to reach the best result.

Thank you so much for your help in advance.

Yours Faithfully
