wow that looks great . I wonder what is used for the cream binding . I`m in the process of making a rear box bike bag , like the tartan raleigh ones from the 60`s . I`m using sadel coloured leatherette, stiffened with plastic campain corrigated board and lined with a flowery waterproof fabric . Its been a right pain to sew, but I have it finished and if anyone is interested I`ll post a pic . Just have to add a closure for the lid and decide how I`ll fix it to the back panniers
