Default Champagne Leather

Ok boy' s
All I can say is we are very fortunate to have a craftsman like Paul Champagne to rejuvinate our 928s in luxurious leather.
Just recieved my custom designed storage box and pod with silver stitching.
The storage box is lined with silver suede.
A-pillars,dash and center console are next in black with silver stitching.
Workmanship is top shelf.

A toast of champagne tonight for Paul

Sweetness.

I notifced that Paul has been using white thread on the black and the gray pieces. Is this by choice? Personally not crazy about white thread, but would be interested if he matched thread.

It's silver thread not white. Paul will gladly use any thread you want. Just ask him.

Keith,
Bet he can use any thread. Probably just tempting to show off the beautiful French seam work. Your call.

Hey Keith, I've used black on black. The picture below is black thread, but my crappy camera does that with it. I guess because the thread is shinier than the leather.



Rich: your silver stitching looks excellent. That is going to be a stunning interior when we're done

Thanks again

Paul

Very nice work. Are you planning on making any more custom designed storage boxes?

Incredible....but I'm getting used to nothing short of amazing from your work!! I really like the armrest setup....hmmm? Is the porsche crest a suede inlay.....I can't see any stitching in the picture?

Brain,

Paul may correct me but I am fairly sure the crest is embossed in the black leather. Paul has a process that removes the black dye to reveal a brown color.

Thanks Rich

I'd like to get the armrest done with the embossing done, just a tad bit smaller (50-70%), and maintaining the black color, kind of like FP had on the headrests on the seats.

Possible?
