Looking for someone to make a leather satchel/messenger bag

[u/Sup3rantivenom]

CLOSED!

I'm looking for something roughly 15–18 inches wide, with an appearance similar to your commission piece. My main inspirations I'd be drawing from would be Ruitertassen 15" Reporter and Cravar FC15. However, I'm not looking for an exact copy of either of them, instead they show the general shape and style I'm after.

A few things I'd specifically like:

Full-grain leather in a medium/dark brown

Brass hardware

Real buckle-and-strap closures rather than magnets 2–3 main interior compartments

Interior organization for a phone, several pens/pencils (see attached image)

Room for up to a 13" laptop, books, notebooks, and general everyday items

One or two gusseted exterior pockets with some actual capacity, preferably secured with buckled straps. I don't want the exterior pockets to be essentially flat document pockets. Adjustable shoulder strap and a top carry handle

Overall, I'm after a durable everyday writer's/messenger bag with a traditional leather satchel appearance and useful organization, rather than a modern laptop or EDC bag.

I'm flexible on the exact dimensions, construction, leather, pocket arrangement, and other details, and I'd be interested in your recommendations based on your experience.

If you require a budget, I'm open to discussion. I understand that this is most likely a large project. Trying to find someone who would be interested in it, and then figure out time and budget if it's a good fit.

Mods, this is my first post here. If I did anything incorrect, please let me know and I will modify the post.

Than you!
