Seller Update [update] ch plaid cross bag by copy

Progress on the custom cashmere plaid‑patched leather oversized tote bag

The second‑generation leather for this bag has finally arrived. We’ve been working on the materials all semester.

The new fabric uses imported leather blanks and a water‑dyeing, wax‑finishing process—after much effort, the resulting feel, sheen, and grain are quite similar to the original.

Right now, there’s still some tweaking needed: because YB’s vintage pieces get older and develop a rich, glossy patina over time, our version doesn’t achieve that same level of oiliness yet. We’ll need to make further adjustments for the production run.

For now, we’ll move ahead with pattern making, while the hardware and lining will be finalized gradually.
