FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- An inside look at Iron Copper Bronze and their intricate bags made in Downtown Fresno.

Iron Copper Bronze was started in October 2012. It started as an idea to make an apron and then they upgrading their sewing machine and buying tools. The finishing work is about 1-2 hour per bag, each bag has 10-20 copper rivets, each one has to be punched, set, peened and hammered by hand. There is no machine that is capable of doing it. It takes about 4-5 hours to make one bag.
