The grip says "milleni". It is a brand of Italian hand bag.
I go to thrift shops and buy the old, and sometimes newish leather handbags. I then un pick them for the leather. Italian brand bags seem to always have great quality leather.
The leather is soft and supple but very strong and is perfect for grips and tabs.........
Cheap as chips and your recycling!!!!!
Thanks for the kind words too, everyone.
Cheers, Mick.
