About the Bag
Measures approximately 15” wide by 12” tall; strap drop approximately 9”. Exterior pocket 8” x 6”; interior approximately 5” x 5”. 
 
Hand-sewn in Charlotte, Vermont. This bag has been conditioned with a lanolin, beeswax and avocado oil conditioner, giving it a waxy feel and a strong protective coating. Bags begin as raw beef hides from farmers and butchers in Vermont's Champlain Valley. Hides are transformed into leather using environmentally sound processes and chestnut-based solutions by the Meyer Family in New York State, who have passed their tanning traditions down over the past 400 years.
