A high-quality leather shoulder bag. Made from vegetable-tanned horsehide. Brand: ARTS & CRAFTS Inspired by the drawstring bags of ancient Japan, used to store and carry small personal items, this simple design is tailored for modern attire. The "VEGETABLE HORSE LEATHER" series from ARTS&CRAFTS features a lightweight shoulder bag that utilizes the natural lightness of horsehide, crafted from a single piece of leather that develops a rich patina with use. In an era of minimal baggage and simple fashion, while a statement bag can be impactful, a lightweight bag that blends seamlessly into your style is often just right. Leveraging the Lightness of Horsehide The first thing you'll notice upon picking it up is its surprising lightness, a characteristic unique to horsehide. While horsehide may not possess the thickness or toughness of cowhide, it offers the appealing qualities of being light, soft, and comfortable to the touch, making it ideal for creating such a breezy bag. The leather used is from A.CASTRO&FILHOS, a tannery founded in 1944 in São João da Madeira, near Porto, Portugal's second-largest city. This tannery works with European horse hides, handling everything from tanning to finishing. The horsehide used for this bag is full vegetable-tanned with animal oil and wax during the dyeing process, followed by a "vanishing" finish that slightly scorches it with friction heat. This finishing technique, also known as scorching, is commonly used for the uppers of Western boots and casual shoes, resulting in a subtly matte and deep expression that doesn't overpower everyday outfits. The VEGETABLE HORSE LEATHER DRAW STRINGS SHOULDER is a simple drawstring bag designed to fit A4 paper flat. It features long drawstrings that are cinched on one side, with a small carabiner at the end of the string connecting to an eyelet on the bag, allowing it to be worn crossbody in front of the body. Adjust the drawstrings to your desired length and tie them off. The main body of the bag is constructed with a simplicity reminiscent of a clothing store's paper shopper. It's a slightly larger-sized shoulder bag perfect for compactly carrying essentials like your wallet, transit pass, and phone. When worn crossbody, it's also convenient for cyclists.
