    This video is a time lapse of a briefcase repair I did recently. The case was so damaged (especially in the corners) that some of the parts were impossible to fix, nevertheless the briefcase is now usable again and is ready for a new life!!!

    Wish I knew where to find wrapped leather handle like this. Nothing comesclose to vintage handles that I am anle to find.

    Great job! But i am more interested in the handle itself as i am dealing with one myself. Is it all leather on the inside like one of your handle video or do they have something more rigid like plastic mold or something extra like steel inside? Anybody else got any idea? Thanks! Again.. great job on the videos.

      That a great idea for a future video. This type of handle can be 100% made by leather

    I see lots of these type of suitcases around but it seems that the lid to the suitcase tends to be warped or out of shape. How would you recommend reforming the leather so that it goes back to the original shape

      I recommend you to use Brasso metal polish, amzn.to/2TNlkde, I have added it to the video description!
