About this project
The Short And Honest Version:
Hello, my name is Bjorn. Over the past few years I've had the pleasure of creating several successful Kickstarter projects with a focus on goods made from Italian leather. I work closely with a master leatherworker and close friend named John.
While fulfilling these projects, we've always made more product than we needed--because things can go wrong and we needed to keep a standing inventory. However, I can no longer keep this standing inventory in my place.
As I gaze around my apartment I see stacks of wallets, backpacks hanging from the rafters, a strange collection of leather-bound flasks causing guests to question my boozing habits. These items need to go.
This isn't a project about selling leather goods. This is a project about cleaning up my apartment.
These are the items my girlfriend is making me get rid of:
- 6 Onyx Backpacks
- 11 Forest Backpacks
- 15 Cork Wallets
- 10 Brandy Wallets
- 10 Writer's Flasks
- 10 Passport Wallets
Now I want to assure you these items are still in top condition--they've been well kept. The leather smells as strongly as it did on day one, I promise.
Oh, and I'm selling everything at cost.
If anyone out there can help me I would really appreciate it. It's time to get that exercise walking to the post office.
Thank you for your time, here are the pictures of the items:
