As rugged as it is beautiful, this leather tote is meant to last a lifetime with ease. Made from very thick vegetable tanned leather (3.5mm) that has been hand laced. Much physical effort goes into making this bag, it is quite a workout. The results in its strength and durability are worth it.

This bag is a blank canvas ready for a story to be told. This leather will darken and patina with age, baring all of the character marks of its journey along the way. Showing a story of events throughout its life. A brass fish hook key holder has been incorporated into the outside for easy and visible key storage.

This bag is very stiff, it has no trouble being able to stand on its own once filled. The handles will soften with a couple of years of use, but the body will remain stiff and resilient for many, many years. Finished with hand hammered brass rivets and matching brass snap closure. Made to easily last a lifetime.

Brass hook can be removed or moved inside the bag.

Variations of this design can be made in a variety of colors, a shoulder strap option can also be added if desired. Stamped initials can be done at no additional cost, if you would like to have the bag personalized.
