DESCRIPTION:

THIS LEATHER BAG IS REVERSIBLE AND IS  MADE FROM WHITE HAIR ON COWHIDE. OUR HAIR ON HIDE BAGS WERE PATTERNED FROM A CERAMIC VASE, WHICH ARE THEN WET FORMED OVER THEM TO HOLD THEIR SHAPE. THE BAG IS THEN HAND PAINTED BLACK ON THE SUEDE SIDE AND FINISHED WITH BEESWAX TO CREATE AN IRREGULAR TEXTURE.

THIS BAG FEATURES A CURVED REVERSIBLE RACCAGNI ZIPPER, AND 2 LEATHER STRAPS COMPLETED WITH INDUSTRIAL PAINTED LOBSTER CLIPS. THERE ARE 3 LOCATIONS ON EACH SIDE OF THE BAG THAT THE STRAPS CAN BE ATTACHED TO, IN ORDER TO ALLOW THE WEARER THE CHOICE OF HOW THE BAG COMPLETES THE OUTFIT. IT CAN BE WORN AS A CROSS BODY, SHOULDER BAG, BACKPACK, OR CARRIED STRAPLESS. 

THE REVERSIBLE LEATHER HAIR ON HIDE BAG IS DESIGNED TO BE FULLY REVERSIBLE WITH THE OUTSIDE HAIR SIDE BEING MORE MINIMAL AND CLEAN. THE INSIDE OF THIS BAG HAS EXTENDED SEAM ALLOWANCE EXAGGERATING THE CURVED PANELS ADDING CONTRAST WITH THE HAIR ON SIDE PEEKING THROUGH THE BLACK SUEDE.

THE VERSATILITY OF THIS DESIGN IS TO OFFER MULTIPLE METHODS OF WEAR; TO EXIST AS MULTIPLE BAGS SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH NO RIGHT OR WRONG WAY TO BE STYLED - NO FINALITY OF WEAR.

SUSTAINABILITY:

THIS PIECE IS ADDITIONALLY DESIGNED TO TAKE THE PLACE OF MULTIPLE GARMENTS IN A WARDROBE LIMITING WASTE.  DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE DYE, THE COLOR IN THIS BAG IS MEANT TO FADE OVER TIME CREATING A MORE INTIMATE AND PERSONAL CONNECTION WITH THE WEARER. ALL SCRAPS FROM THE CUTTING PROCESS OF THIS BAG WILL BE SAVED AND REUSED IN NEW DESIGNS. ALL PAPER SCRAPS USED TO CREATE PATTERNS FOR THIS GARMENT ARE ALSO SAVED TO BE REUSED AS PACKAGING.

CONTENT:

100% HAIR ON COWHIDE

WASHING INSTRUCTIONS:

SPOT TREAT IF NEEDED DO NOT WASH.

MODEL IS 6’0”, 29” WAIST, 17” ACROSS SHOULDERS.

MANUFACTURING: HAVING COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS IS VERY IMPORTANT, THIS IS WHY THIS BAG MUST START WITH UNDYED HIDES. THIS BAG IS CUT AND SEWN IN KENT, OHIO BY A VERY SMALL TEAM OF SKILLED CRAFTS PEOPLE. AFTER THE GARMENT IS FULLY CONSTRUCTED, IT IS THEN DYED BY HAND.

WE CREATE GARMENTS THAT SHIFT AND CHANGE WITH THE WAY THE WEARER IS FEELING. THIS GARMENT IS MEANT TO EVOLVE OVER TIME AND CREATE BEAUTIFUL AGE MARKINGS THAT WILL BE COMPLETELY UNIQUE TO YOU, THE WEARER.  WE HOPE EVERY GARMENT WE PRODUCE CREATES A MORE GENUINE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE WEARER AND THE OBJECTS THAT INFORMED THESE DESIGNS.
