Manufacturing Technique: Using Wooden Lasts to Make Handbags
You wouldn't think of woodworkers as being involved in purse making.
But at Warsaw-based handbag manufacturer Kosaty Studio, they use these things:
Once the fabric patterns are cut, the pieces are laid over the equivalent of a last in shoemaking, then adhered into place. And to avoid issues of draft angle, these bag lasts are designed to be made from interlocking shapes, so you can remove them once the bag is together:
The bags are then stitched together.
"It gives the bags the perfect shape," the company writes of the lasts. "This is a unique and indispensable tool for the creation of almost every one of our bags."
