I had a bit of this rugged brown leather available when putting together the holiday line. I made 3 across the body styles & a couple of bucket bags. It turned out that this quality was very popular. I enforced the back with vintage belting & the straps were one of a kind old horse bridles. Because I used the natural edge for the front flap, each bag had a unique look. This season was the first time that I made a lot of across the body styles. I don’t know why it hadn’t occur to me earlier. Check out the writing on the old bridle- I love that part!
