buffalo leather open seam cross body bag
description
a cross body bag, cut from a washed 2.3mm vegetable tanned buffalo leather offering a dense structure, tight grain and firm temper.
the bag has undergone extensive treatment over the course of 14 days, starting out as a natural tan coloured leather, it is first soaked in cold water before a base layer of iron solution that has been brewing in the atelier for 18 months is applied. multiple layers of a water based dye are applied over the top to bring out an array of tonal nuances before being oiled and waxed.
the unlined bag features a multiple panel construction with open seams to the front and rear. our signature overlock stitched side panels form the bags silhouette, and utilise a hand waxed 0.65mm japanese linen thread. a zipper pocket to the rear can accommodate an array of valuables and features a custom hand made zipper pull.
a hand sewn double faced strap sits centre stage and forms the closure to the front. a hand sewn double faced adjustable leather shoulder strap is attached to the hand forged iron rings to the rear, with double iron rings allowing for easy adjustment.
each piece comes in a hand made leather pouch.
custom leathers, sizes and finishes are available upon request.
