The Alfred Dunhill Tradition leather range truly celebrates the brands rich heritage using vegetable tanned leather and techniques such as hand stitching and skiving the act of thinning the leather for a clean finish on curves and corners that remain unchanged from Alfreds formative years. Each piece of dunhill custom leather is made at the Walthamstow leather workshop where the customers individual choice of skin, finish, hardware, functionalities and linings are created into completely bespoke and therefore unique large or small leather piece.
All technical practices are undertaken on site at the workshop from skin selection, cutting, skiving and attachment of hardware to hand edge dying, branding, stitching and edge creasing. One person is responsible for the construction of each individual piece through to the final edge painting and cleaning, ensuring ownership and pride in each piece that is produced, resulting in the highest standards of workmanship. A leather card stamped with the name of this artisan is inserted into each piece of luggage to guarantee dunhill authenticity.
What an excellent movie! No silly music! We don't need any music with true craftsmanship.
One word.... CLASS.
I've lost count how many times how many times I've watched this video.
By far one if not the most beautiful briefcase I've had the pleasure of owning.
Thank you dunhill
Just imagining how wonderful that workshop would smell
You put this up to make people want to buy it, but i just want to make it!
Wonderful craftsmanship and it will look even better with age.
Timeless, elegant, just beautiful.
I love the editing of this video. All of the different sounds and tools and materials make me want to go make something.
I had goosebumps watching this.
Love the craftsmanship .
I also got goosebumps, but it was more for the ASMR type tingles from this. Especially when he ran his hands over the leather.
+Oma Be Dude!! I had an Erection and spilled all my shit on my laptop.. HUAHAUHAUAUA!!!
cazzo53 what the fuck LOL
Don't trust his advertisement. I have a Dunhill bag and it has some quality control problems.
The craftsmanship was great. Would had liked to see more.
Quite simply the best looking briefcase I've seen. Truly a work of art.
Such beautiful work! This is really clean and simple, but at the same time stunning.
Thanks for sharing your skill with us
beautiful video, thank you.
A master piece!
@bavarianblucandy the wallets from the explorer leather range are handmade in Spain. Thanks
Heyyy it's Thomas! he's the master craftsman. such a lovely fellow
That's rather splendid.
That will do nicely, thank you.
2 days huh ...... he just did it in 2 MINUTES !!! :)
Gorgeous craftsmanship!
+Ian Atkinson - No, mate. Your stuff is top notch and functional! I would rather have a custom made knife sheath or possibles pouch any day over a document case. Keep building what you build!
Granted, this Dunhill case looks nice...but I agree with some of the other comments previously posted:
1.) He didn't actually "finish" the edges, or even burnish them. Just slapped Edge Kote or something similar. The most he did was sand down the pieces after cutting them out from that glazed double-shoulder (That *is* a double-shoulder, right? Looks too short to be a full side) .
2.) He didn't even STITCH the gussets to the main case, just glued them in and hammered them down with the rawhide mallet. WTF?!? (Unless he stitched those off-screen. But even if he did, I couldn't see any stitches...unless he painted Edge Kote on those, too.)
Not that the gentleman leather crafting in this video isn't experienced in his work; clearly he is (you could see how quickly he used that head knife on the leather handle after stitching it). It's just the fact that, if you are learning to do leather craft, then you get an understanding of what's involved in working with leather and what could be done to make a piece more special. This video, although it has quite a bit of things that are alluring to those who like leather working, could show much, much more.
This man has skills. But I can’t help but to wonder why he didn't bother beveling the edges tho...
so beautifull!
good job i have a note book from 1996
you made it. it's pretty cool 😎
Well done.
I can smell the leather through my screen.
@modeling4Fashion the dunhill Tradition range is handmade in our leather workshop in East London. Thanks
Good to know. I feared that the bags were either machine sewn or made somewhere else and just had a Dunhill badge applied. Very traditional skills. I know I’m not the fastest maker but, for me, from template cutting to finish (excluding any set asides for glue setting) 30 hours of work. So, maybe, someone like the guy featured, could do it in £20 hours? That’s £80 materials plus £200 labour wages before you talk about factory overheads, retail overheads and profit. Anyone have better figures?
@@martincox7354 how much are you saying is total cost to make this including materials and labour?
It s a beautiful bag.
Pura arte maravilha.
Шикарно! Супер!
Unfortunately it is no longer available, at least not on Dunhill's website...
this video never fails to inspire me, a true craftsmen at work. i enjoy leather work myself, but how do you come to do this for a living, are ther apprenticeships in this kind of job ?
Like a Boss!!!!
you can smell the quality
Súper !!!
awesome video. who was the company behind the filming/editing?
Excellent technique and craftsmanship...By the way, where can I get that "glue box" from?
Thank you, Andrew Peter
And this is why I have a disease -- designer-accesoryitus! In layman's terms: I'm a shoe, bag and case crack head! How could you not be when they make pieces like this so fantastically well/beautiful?
Beautiful
Beautiful bag. What kind of leather is used to make it?
beautiful!
un travail de genie
Fantastic work
I think I just feel better after watching this video...(?)
Is it weird that I purred during this?
Great job, where did you get the hardware?
Muy bueno,los felicto
Nice sound
Wish I could charge £1950 for that.
+Ian Atkinson I would take your work over that any day. Keep it up!
Your stuff is more solid than this and less pretentious.
wonderful
extremely ASMR!!!
exquisite
beuatiful
i can't find this case on the dunhill website and i would like to get one. what happened t oit?!
1 guy with 116 years experience...thats one old dude.
perfect
its to made the leather stiffer and give it support.. Id say it could be synthetic or just really hard leather..Could be think timber!
nice!!
@alfreddunhill where are the explorer wallets manufactured?
No stitching? Just glue?
Nice, and that didn't take long at all...
nice !
0.50 second what is glued bag cover?
ASMR OVERLOAD!!!!
Any lucj finding the name of the glue
Tebrikler
Made where?
AD Archer Dunhill
im a leather craftsman as well,and i can create this bag, with the same quality leather and craftsmanship for 1/3 of the price. Also, I can custom carve family crest logos to customize each piece.
What kind of brush did he use to start with?
I think it was some kind of horse hair brush or something similar with stiffer bristles. I have been trying to find something like it as well. He just used it to buff out the entire double shoulder so that it would have more luster.
Good job, but 2000 for this? Forget about it! :)
Haha. This type of video has become such a cliché. I predicted that the ending would culminate with the switching off of the light. Lo and behold.
SuperPussyFinger yeah. But they did it first. You commenting about it is a cliche.
Don't trust his advertisement. I have a Dunhill bag and it has some quality control problems.
Fuck, This is wonderful :D
A true tragedy what the company has become ran by sick people
For sure

я сам из Донбасса мне очень нравиться ваши работы покажите размеры хочу научиться работать как вы мы мой кумир по работе с кожей нужна помощь в приобретение инструмента .
This video and sound make me to sleep ....
Very stylish video but the construction is really subpar. Even older Dunhill cases did not use the synthetic edging you see in all sorts of high end makers today. Instead, the leather is skived all around the edges then glued down and stitched over all around. This ensures a smooth leather edge and more durability. Eventually that synthetic edge will crack and water will creep into the edge. The Italians were the first to promulgate this technique to save time and labour and the majority of Italian production today are not really that high quality even with very high price. Even English makers who deal with bespoke only a few offer to do what I just described for a document case. This craft is dying precisely because uneducated customers just throw money around without expecting a superior product.
that is of course just your opinion...humble as it is.
Justmyopinionlol what synthetic are you talking about? Did I miss something all I saw was leather
I think he's referring to the application of edge paint on edges that are not skived/sanded/burnished. Edge paint (like Edge Kote) helps the edges to stay together for sure but skive/sand/burnish (slicking) before application greatly enhances construction and aesthetics. At the very minimum, it removes the share edges that could be a source of weakness and forces fibers in the leather to be bound together in a certain direction.
Not sure what they used to mend the gap between layers of leather (check 00:57)? Probably didn't?
The video is pretty underwhelming to say the least. I doubt this video would encourage anyone with basic leather working skills to buy them.
neither, he's talking about a rolled / turned edge, which is currently out of fashion. Not really do able on large items unless you have a $50,000 machine though.
they got 99 crafting lvl
The only reason that you buy crap made products instead of this craftmanship, is because the market is driven by consumption rather than making things last. Such shame really..and our kids are going to "kill us" for it.
Ai sim.
That's 3000$ bag
no way he wears a shirt and tie to work
you subs....
I'm not impressed. Everything is pretty basic in the design and sewing, nothing complicated or difficult at all. The edge finishing could barely be called that (merely painting on edge paint is not finishing an edge). Anyone with a decent amount of skill and a sewing machine could do this.
!
where are your videos?
DaveBromley1 That is the lamest counter argument ever used.
Theknotman1964
he didn't offend anyone, you did...
To clarify, I didn't mean to be a troll. I have done custom leatherwork in the past and no, I don't have any videos on youtube.
I responded to the video because I have a problem with individuals or companies trying to pass off mediocre work as "bespoke old world craftsmanship" and relying on people's ignorance about said craft in order to impress them. (look,he's using a brush on the leather and running his hands over it, its so old timey! He is hand stitching a single small item on the bag oooh!) There is a reason they don't show the majority of the bag being machine stitched. It devalues those of us who actually do good work if everyone believes these mass produced, mediocre items are so great and are willing to pay way too much for them.
"1 master craftsman, 2 days to create, 116 years of experience" certainly sounds like bragging to me, and I was simply trying to call them out on it, because they shouldn't be bragging about this case, and to educate people.
Don't worry China will copy paste this production
I LOVE dead cow skin. I also love dead cow meat! Mmm!
Dead cow skin to make briefcases, that's your business model?
A deal with the Devil or very perceptive and you've tapped into human vanity.
...because that brief case would make anyone look the richest person in the room and I WANT TO BE THAT PERSON.. GIMME NOW!!!
Cliché
