black washed culatta & fish leather crossbody bag
description
the compact leather bag can be worn on the shoulder or across the body and has been cut from a butter soft full grain 3.5mm vegetable tanned, washed and tumbled horse culatta leather.
culatta is a special cut combined of the rear just above the cordovan, the belly middles and the hind shanks, offering a dense structure, tight grain and medium to firm temper. vegetable tanning is a traditional method of treating the hide using natural extracts such as tree bark, for a truly artisanal finish.
crafted with a triple piece pattern construction that features our deconstructed side panels, the bag is hand sewn with our adaptation of overlocked sides in a tonal 0.65mm hand waxed Japanese linen thread over an 18 hour period without the use of machines. the unlined interior features a single patch pocket to the rear large enough for a smartphone, and has been waxed to avoid leather particles getting into the charger ports.
accents of fish leather showcase an array of textures in juxtaposition to the leather grain, and is available with a tonal finish or a contrasting coloured finish.
the bag is available with either a fixed length strap with distressed clips or a deconstructed shoulder strap that can be adjusted via hand forged raw iron sliders on each side allowing for swift adjustments. a large leather strap slides through a leather loop to keep the front flap closed.
the leather has been soaked and oiled post production to bring out the tonal nuances of the rotten corpse matte black dye finish.
the bag has the capacity to carry all your daily essentials.
each piece comes in a hand made leather package.
custom leathers, sizes and finishes are available upon request.
