The Making of an ATTACHÉ
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 вер 2024
- A traditional cedar framed Attaché is a fusion of crafts and in this short film we explore the heritage craft skills of the leatherworker, cabinet maker and metalworkers required to make one.
A truly 'Made in England' product, the film is shot on location in Westholme, County Durham and Walsall, the heart of the Black Country. Westholme is a 17th century hamlet in the North East of England. Walsall was formerly England's industrial heartland whose output powered an Empire but where now the foundry making the brass work is the last remaining in the UK.
Watch as the craftsmanship we so carefully at saddlestitch.c... nurture brings the wood, leather and brass together in to a finished product. The Attaché is designed not to fulfil the current obsession with FAST i.e fast fashion, fast manufacturing and short product life. It is made to last, made to build a relationship over a lifetime of use with its owner, made by hand, made with passion and craftsmanship, not with a machine.
Shot entirely on 16mm film, the organic and analogue nature of the medium reflects the textures, feel and personality of our workshops, where the natural beauty of leather and linen thread needs no digital enhancement. In an environment where many of the tools are older than those operating them and where the beauty of a product is determined solely by the skill of the hands of the maker the beauty of natural light captured on a film emulsion is a natural extension of our creative process.
Hi Guys, sorry the chat stream closed before I could answer everyones questions! I'll answer any questions in the comments though. Thank you for watching, everyones support means a huge amount to us
I didn't read the title, sleepy mesmerized by craftsmanship i watched wondering what was being crafted a wallet? No.. a?? hmm??... then the hardware was assembled and i was like no waay.. really? Then the attache case was set on stage.. YES! YES! Yeeeeaass!!!!!! This is bad ass man
I had to watch just to know what is an equus attaché
I thought it was for the car brand lmao
Same here..

There’s something oddly poetic and satisfying about watching craftsmanship at its finest. Every little detail, every careful carve or cut; Precisely planned and measured. In the end, it all clicks into place.
The video is the antithesis to many modern film strips: Long cuts, no annoying background music, close ups of single manufacturing steps... great!
Kurt Mueller thank you. We always try to give the craft time to speak in the edit! Glad you enjoyed it
Not to mention it was done on actual film. I can't believe they did that, but it's awesome
Thank you Equus for not putting on some cheesy music like other brands did, covering up the beautiful audio of the craftsmanship with those god awful music.. Kudos 👍🏻
:-)
Why would someone spend $1000 on a briefcase
*Watching this *
Ok, take my money
Kush Kamble Something tells me this is far north of $1000...
It's about $6000. Redundant craftsmanship.
Southern Gent there’s no such thing. Great craftsmanship has always had a tiny market but is always worthwhile, and the skills used for something like this have to be preserved
To use it as a symbol of what they believe in.
Handmade quality is worth every penny
This video is like opium for my soul.. Please post more content more regularly - I can't get enough.
We'd like to! Good not quick though..
Okay but it's been 4 years now
I am a leatherworker and a woodworker, and the way these guys are making this item is just beautiful. It will also be excruciatingly expensive and I am glad there is still market for it. Well done!
I wish suitcases came back into fashion. Such a classic look. My dad used to have one, unfortunately all it held were his porno mags and vhs's
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Not a single negative in 4 days = genius comment.
Suitcase?
Briefcase
@@txjack1787 Dislikes don't show up the same way Likes do. so it's impossible for you to know how many dislikes it has.
I still use my Dad's from the 90's. It's even more elaborate than the one in this video
What an excellent video! No silly music!
I need these videos to be 30+ minutes long. I could legitimately watch you make these everyday.
Actually we'd love to do that. It would be a huge excercise - this film took 2 weeks to shoot and months to plan and edit so 30mins would be a massive undertaking, but I hope one day!
Beautiful Film.
Thank you!
This is artistry. I'd happily watch these artisans craft this from beginning to end. Beautiful film and beautiful product!
kukrae thank you for the kind words, much appreciated! :-)
that's why we have eyes to witness this. Thank you.
My ears have been blessed.

I’d like to thank you again for introducing me to the wonderful world of leather craft. It’s been about 2 years now and I’m learning and applying my craft every week. The work you do is inspirational and the videos you share are gifts. I can’t thank you enough.

Greetings from Poland!
No sé que palabra se deba emplear para mostrar mi más grande satisfacción al ver nacer una obra de arte,pero por ahora sólo diré... Excelente.
Saludos desde México.
¡Gracias!
Glad you're back. You're an inspiration for my leatherworking hobby.
If we inspire anyone to make anything weve done somthing right, thank you!
Nice to see another video from you. 👍🏻
Thank you!
Great video. It would be really nice to have a similar video but showing the process in a lot more detail. There is so much to be shown, it left me a bit hungry for more. Keep it up!
Thank you. We have plans for more edits - it was really hard achieving the right balance. Watch this space
@@saddlestitch I think in terms of cinematography, the video is perfect. But in terms of showing the process, the maker aspect of it, I think it's too short. I'm not sure it's possible to have a perfect balance between both. In any case, you're doing great!
Xavier Gervais-Dumont no, probably it isn’t. For this one we felt we had to do somthing different, not repeat the same shots and style as our other videos, so we deliberately wanted to show the art in the craft, rather than just the craft. We have good footage for other versions in the future though. Thank you for the comment re cinematography
@@saddlestitch I'd happily watch 20 minutes of this.
Troy Brophy thank you! Great feedback
Fantastic work, awesome video..RESPECT
:-) thank you!
Excellent craftsmanship, sorry to see your business in no longer in operation. Best of luck and success in your future endeavors.
some part of it looks rather satisfying
Very satisfying. Many parts are quite scary too - 1 mistake ruins days of work..
Finally new video!
good not quick :-)
Breathtaking. Thank you.
Been watching your videos for years. Please make new ones.
its pleasure to watch talented craftsmanship
Serkanbah thank you for the kind words!
So much dedication went into the creation that I enjoyed every minute of it ...my respect ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you!
Very Nice to watch make this piece of Art
Not only is this a beautiful testament to craft in the traditional way, but they even decided to not go digital and use *FILM*
Pure anti stress video
I'm speechless this video is amazing

Im an absolute fan of your videos, They are so profound, its a hole philosophy. So charm and relaxing, is like everithing in life is perfect while I watch.
I dont know if you guys realize the impact of this videos but I Can feel a new way to live my life. Is a huge new lifestyle. Living the moment, the process, the present. The result is whatever its going to be it dont matter. The real thing is the power of now. You with the eternity of the Alive
Thanks so much. The joy of craft is the now, the process happening right this second, and if you take pleasure in the individual processes the end result will be good. We forget how unusual that is in the modern world. If you havent tried making things, please do, your philosophy is exactly right
Fantastic I love watching the quality of the work and the production of the video I wish there was more!

Lot of effort went in to the sound! We've never got it quite right before, this is only the 2nd video weve felt confident to have only ambient sound, this one is much better than the last. 1 whole person dedicated to sound on set this time
That handle looks especially delicious! I would love to know what was used for the core. Thank you for the gorgeous videos!
