EDITORS COMMENTS
Leather Permitting, 1944: Making a Leather Satchel Bag in Wartime During the tumultuous years of World War II, the spirit of make-do-and-mend was in full swing. With rationing and shortages affecting every aspect of daily life, individuals were encouraged to be resourceful and innovative in their use of available materials. This image from the Illustrated London News, dated January 20, 1944, showcases a woman skillfully crafting a leather satchel bag in her home workshop. The photograph, titled "Leather Permitting, 1944," offers a glimpse into the determination and creativity of the British people during wartime. The woman, dressed in a simple yet practical outfit, is intently focused on her task. A sewing machine sits nearby, while a stack of leather scraps and various tools are arranged within easy reach. Her expression conveys a sense of pride and accomplishment as she shapes the raw materials into a functional and stylish accessory. The leather satchel bag, a versatile and timeless design, would have been an essential item for those serving in the military or working in industries critical to the war effort. By making their own bags, individuals not only saved precious resources but also ensured that they had a high-quality, custom-made accessory that would last for years to come. This poignant image serves as a reminder of the resourcefulness and resilience of the British people during World War II. Despite the challenges and hardships, they found ways to adapt and thrive, transforming everyday items into treasured keepsakes and vital tools for the war effort.
