Handmade Leather Bag #140

This is another very unique, completely handmade and handsewn with waxed linen thread, leather shoulder bag. The bag is made from 4-5oz veg tanned cowhide. The straps are made from 4-5oz veg tanned cowhide as well. The straps are attached to the bag using aged, solid brass d-rings and copper rivets. The bag measures 8 3/8 inches wide at the middle and 8 1/2 inches from top to bottom. The buckle strap measures 14 inches long, 1 1/4 inches wide, and features an aged solid brass buckle. The long strap measures 50 inches long, 1 1/4 inches wide, and features 8 holes for adjustment. The bag features include, a 1 inch wide gusset with burinshed edges and a period correct oil and beeswax finish. I have given the bag and straps an aged look. Both have been stained a dark brown. I used a period correct neatsfoot oil and beeswax conditioner for the finish.
Everything has been done completely by hand. It has been cut, sewn with waxed linen thread, dyed, and finished by hand, no machines or assembly line methods used at all just to save time.
