The color purple is notoriously challenging, requiring a delicate balance of red undertones and subtle gradations to achieve true beauty – a feat this Little Grape bag masterfully accomplishes! To ensure every nuance of color is fully showcased, I opted for a topless bucket bag design. This allows the carefully composed hand-dyed leather panels to be fully visible, beautifully complemented by thoughtfully chosen metal hardware that enhances the rich, deep purple. —— The desire to dye my own leather dates back to the "Na Shi Bag 1.0" era, but I was unsure how to approach it – simply applying dye wasn't the artistic method I envisioned. After dedicating nearly six years to painting and sculpting, I finally understood how to dye leather beautifully and how to use color to create an aesthetic appeal. The dyeing process for Na Shi Bags involves diluting the dye to a very light concentration, applying it layer by layer, and waiting for it to dry completely overnight. Only then is the next layer considered, with adjustments made using several different color numbers to achieve the final, deeply layered effect over several weeks. https://youtube.com/shorts/jfYWno1Ca10?si=04KXU94EL5MW7b9t Deep purple can surprisingly function as a versatile alternative to black. Its depth allows for both dynamic and understated styling. Feel free to experiment! 🫶 —— The entire piece of purple leather is utilized with meticulous planning.
