Adjustable handles for hand or arm carrying.
Removable cotton pouch.

Vegetable-tanned full-grain calfskin. Chrome-free, chemical-free tanning using oak bark and other vegetal tanning agents.
The result is a leather with a warm camel color that develops a beautiful patina over time.

The handles are saddle-stitched and finished with hand-cut threads.The handle edges are finished with gum arabic, which is applied by hand several times, sanding between each application.
