More Crafting Videos: Globe-Trotter Suitcases

Another good "object being made" video also coming from the UK is this Globe-Trotter Suitcase spot. This one is different from the Dunhill short in that there's more human-operated machinery involved, and more explanation is given both of the on-screen steps being taken and of the role a particular machine is playing. The video also annotates how long each step takes, so by the end you have a firm grasp on why this object—a sturdy, predominantly leather suitcase—takes a whopping ten days and change to produce.

Perhaps you should watch it again. Their suitcases are made of vulcanized fiberboard, not leather. And have been since the 1850's
