I am Susanne Breul, the designer/owner at BREUL lefties´finest.My last minute application for an international design award catapult-ed my business to new heights. To finance this „rite of passage“ I count on your generous backing & I since-rely hope you´ll like my designs.

What a thrill: Going to sleep as a designer, waking up a finalist. This is what my application looked like. I had barely three weeks to find a manufacturer, have the

bag made and shipped from Hamburg to New York. We made it. Let´s party!

The design process

from the idea to 3-d-puzzle:

What should go in? As much as needed, cutting

out the superfluous.

And the making of my

self-sewn mock-up

with everything in it it´s place.

My German manufacturer made this beautiful prototype from a soft, locally sourced and vegetable-tanned cow´s leather over a weekend, so I could send it to the awards headquarters in time.

The bag No.1 in all it´s glorious detail. Enjoy and thank´s for watching, backing and sharing! https://wemakeit.com/projects/bag_handmade_by-breul
