W113 Group logo??
Title: Re: Luggage Strap
Post by: yves on March 05, 2025, 13:34:22
No , i am not allowed to….!
But your monogramme (initials close to the buckle) or W113 for instance
Title: Re: Luggage Strap
Post by: JamesL on March 05, 2025, 16:49:35
W113 Group logo??

I'd imagine that a die to press into the leather would need to be made, which is work/costly
Title: Re: Luggage Strap
Post by: yves on March 05, 2025, 18:05:52
exactly.... that's why i suggest monogram or W 113  or nothing !

I am very interested in one of these. My 280 is Dark Blue with Parchment interior.

Anyone have a guess as to what color was most likely originally back in the trunk?

Very nice work. 

Its heartwarming to see an old Singer 29K in use in this day and age. 

Title: Re: Luggage Strap
Post by: yves on May 09, 2025, 12:03:43
I use this Singer  29k only since a few weeks...! i have not yet solved the adjustments between the upper and lower thread...! I am apprentice now for the next .....20 years with the lathe also before .....another machine adventure.
If you don't are curious and want to learn or do something new .... you are already dead ! ;)

Well James , now you have to work with your camera and give us a photo in situ with some Vuitton suitcases of course....! A Pagoda deserve that at least  :)
Btw one week to make 450 miles ...... to GUERNSEY ! i should have sailed there  from LA ROCHELLE around Brittany , but the weather is not so good this time!
Title: Re: Luggage Strap
Post by: Jordan on May 12, 2025, 20:14:36
Received mine today and as James states, it looks fantastic.  No luggage in the trunk at the moment so just used the strap to hold down a few items to see how it looked.  Fit is excellent.

Mine arrived today, very pretty. Still smells like something special and new. I didn’t have a chance to take pics or fit, but very impressed it’s Yves and the craftsmanship. I will take pics once I fit (hoping my factory hardware still is “normal”)

THANK YOU YVES!!!!

Precisions about the colors: tan VS brown
Some members ask about "light brown", "cognac", etc....

1 is tan
