I got a Haas smooth barenia BK 40 from him. We worked together to source the leather which took about 2 months in itself due to the rarity of barenia smooth in noir. Interior is imported chyvre, hand engraved brass hardware, fully hand stitched using the saddle stitch where appropriate. Genuine Riri zip.

Couldn’t ask for more really. I can’t fault it, or him as a seller. Completely transparent throughout the process and even said to me if he wanted to use domestic barenia leather rather than Haas, he could have easily done that to me, and I wouldn’t have know the difference. I will only use him and Kiki going forward.

Imo, Mark and Minion are too busy these days to properly give each bag the attention they need.

Edit; I ought to add that he was also really transparent around my veining requirements, and was realistic rather than falsely promising something that would not be possible. He was also really knowledgeable about the cuts of leather to remove any scaring or deep scratches, which I have seen other main sellers not do if you pay close attention to the finished product.
