This is a detailed tutorial for making a large size steampunk leather bag with copper and metal features and accessories. This is a soft steampunk style bag, created specifically for everyday use, while never loosing its steampunk air.

The inside of the laptop bag is very spacious and can accommodate a laptop, a photocamera, lots of other electronics you might need, even some clothes, if you plan a short getaway during the weekend.

Although it has a copper handle and different other copper accessories in all good places, the steampunk bag is surprisingly lightweight and will keep its shape for many years, even if you carry heavy stuff, due to its perfectly conceived pattern.

This is one of Vasile and Pavel classic designs, perfected over many years.
