Thank you Christine! The handles are hand stitched on and yes they are reinforced in behind. I glue on a solid strip of leather which my handy husband has predrilled the matching handle holes with. Then I stitch through both layers. Very solid and will not distort the shape with use:) Bag bottom is also reinforced.

Thanks for all the info. May I borrow your handy husband? :-)

Wow, that bag looks so professionally done! I have never used leather handles, so I was wondering: (1) do you use your sewing machine to attach them or hand stitch? (2) do you put reinforcement underneath where the handles are attached? Anyway, GREAT job!
