Oversized Hand-Stitched Veg-Tan Leather Tote (16” × 12.5” × 4.5”)

This piece came from an artisan workshop—no brand stamp, just great leather and hours of handwork.• Cut from a 3.5 mm full-grain hide—the thickness you see in heirloom satchels, not fast-fashion totes.• Hand-stitched with waxed poly thread; note the slight quirks at the bar-tack—evidence of a real maker, not a factory jig.• Unlined interior keeps the bag light for its size and lets the leather patina naturally; smells like a saddle shop.• Deep 14” × 10” outer pocket swallows a 13” laptop or sketchbook.• Carries comfortably on shoulder even when packed (11” strap drop).• Treated with Saphir Médaille d’Or Macadamia lotion—ready to go, but will darken and soften beautifully over time.Condition: I don't detect any previous wear—corner darkening is the bend-mark from initial construction, not scuffing. Minor surface mottling typical of undyed veg-tan hides.Care: Wipe with a dry cloth; condition annually with a neutral leather balm.#handmadebag #vegtanleather #fullgrain #leathertote #madeintheUSA #artisanleather
