Any look, complemented by an unusual accessory, acquires individuality. A bright scarf, a beautiful brooch or an appliqué in the form of a mischievous cat on a bag – fashionistas around the world have adopted accessories, surprising the world every day with a look like from the cover of a magazine.

Appliqué leather bags never go out of style. Big and small, sacks and clutches, cozy backpacks and business messengers - they are all universal. Decorated with appliqués in leather or other materials, these bags go with any outfit and are appropriate for any situation.

Application - the imposition of curly pieces of leather on a contrasting base background. It can be sewn, glued or cut. In the latter case, the ornament is created by creating slots in the top layer. This is necessary in order to open the lining. The edges of the patterns in welt applications are sheathed with a figured seam.

Varieties

All applications are divided into three types:

1. Story. Compositions, scenes or paintings laid out in patches or individual figures.
2. Subject. Single standalone images: flower, butterfly, animal, tree, etc.
3. Decorative. A pattern or ornament that includes geometric shapes or repeating objects. For example, a chain of identical maple leaves or flowers.

The application can be voluminous if you put a piece of batting or synthetic filler under the image. You can also make it in 3D. To do this, only a part of the application is attached to the surface, for example, flower petals. The base is sewn to the bowl, leaving the tips free. Together, the petals make up a three-dimensional flower.

If there is not enough time and energy for needlework, you can buy it. For example, Protege is a company that creates unique and inexpensive bags with leather appliqués (St. Petersburg).

Before buying, you need to check the store for integrity by reading reviews or asking friends. Indeed, under the guise of genuine leather, artificial material can be offered. At the same time, taking the full amount from the client. Prices for leather bags with appliqués are quite high - tens of thousands of rubles.

You can make an application on your favorite leather bag yourself. To do this, you do not need to have any special knowledge. Enough imagination and the ability to hold a needle.

Easy option

To start working on an applique for a leather bag, you need to select templates and print them out. Also, the image can be redrawn. Next, the drawing is transferred from carbon paper towrong side of the skin flap and cut out. The resulting element is sewn or glued to the bag. If desired, you can diversify it with pieces of fur, beads or contrasting pieces of leather.

Applique welt

This option takes longer than the previous one. There can be many small details in a cut-out appliqué that are difficult to carefully cut out and then sew with high quality. Therefore, this method of application requires appropriate skills. If there is a desire to learn this art, you should start with the simplest patterns. For training, cut out the details of the application on paper or cardboard to fill your hand.

Multicolor slit appliqué

If you want to add several shades, you should connect multi-colored patches with each other, sew in layers and sequentially cut through the desired detail in each of them. You can sheathe the pattern with a decorative seam before cutting or after, which depends on the skill of the craftswoman. If sheathed first, you will need thin nail scissors in order to carefully cut the shape along the contour.
