Wow was I surprised when I received this cross body purse. The pictures were beautiful, but in person it's stunning. I ordered this as a custom purse from CustomLeatherAndPen. During the ordering process I had lots of communication with Curt in which he guided me through a broad range of leather choices, colors and even the color of the stitching. I wanted the purse to be a little smaller as well so we adjusted the size of one of his patterns. Then, when he started making my purse he sent me pictures throughout the process. It was so interesting to see the purse come to life. I've never had this type of experience before. The impeccable workmanship and hand stitching complements the beautiful leather. It's clear how much time and care Curt took to design the perfect purse for me. I WILL order another!
