https://img.shoplineapp.com/media/image_clips/65e02b83a72264eac7598811/original.PNG?1709190019 It's been a while since I've crafted a backpack! Taking advantage of some free time, I've created a messenger-style backpack. I've generously used nearly a full hide of cowhide for this piece. It boasts a remarkably spacious interior, perfect for carrying a laptop for work, and naturally, it's more than adequate for everyday use. https://img.shoplineapp.com/media/image_clips/65e02bb0c65b2300203edca0/original.PNG?1709190063 This vegetable-tanned cowhide in caramel will gradually deepen in color and gain a beautiful sheen with use. The "US MAIL" imprint on the front flap serves as a visual focal point, lending the bag a unique character. https://img.shoplineapp.com/media/image_clips/65e02c0dcf194800202abdd7/original.PNG?1709190156 Natural grain variations are clearly visible on the leather, not a uniform pressed pattern, but rather organic lines of varying depth. The bag shimmers in the sunlight, a testament to the leather's rich natural oils. Each angle reveals a distinct and captivating expression. https://img.shoplineapp.com/media/image_clips/65e02c314b25a6001dc86ab1/original.PNG?1709190192 Featuring solid brass buckles, the flap opens with a gentle lift of the leather tab. A drawstring closure secures your belongings inside. https://img.shoplineapp.com/media/image_clips/65e02bd98a189b001d53c8aa/original.PNG?1709190104 Showcasing the leather in its purest form, the interior is unlined to maintain a lighter weight. A single internal pocket is thoughtfully designed for organizing smaller items like your phone and keys. An external pocket is also included for convenient storage. https://img.shoplineapp.com/media/image_clips/65e02c498a189b001453c8ad/original.PNG?1709190216 This sophisticated leather backpack effortlessly elevates any outfit, gaining character and charm with the passage of time. https://img.shoplineapp.com/media/image_clips/65e02c684b25a60011c864cb/original.PNG?1709190247 __________________________________ Exterior Dimensions: Width 28cm x Height 43cm x Depth 14cm (Please note that manual measurements may have slight variations) Strap Length: Approximately 100cm total length per strap, adjustable. Weight: Approximately 1100g Material: Vegetable-tanned cowhide __________________________________ Leather Used: Vegetable-tanned cowhide Tanned using plant-based oils and tannins with natural cowhide. As the leather surface has minimal finishing and no coating, natural grain patterns, scars, and spots are clearly visible, requiring a higher standard of leather quality. Vegetable-tanned leather softens and develops a rich luster over time, promising a captivating patina and natural aroma as it ages. Production Notes: 1. All items are made to order and may require 2-3 weeks for completion. If you have specific time constraints, please contact us in advance. 2. Due to the potential for discontinued leather availability, we may need to discuss alternative leather options if a particular hide is out of stock. 3. Complimentary hot stamping service is available. Please refer to the photo for font options. Primarily uses English alphabet characters; perfectionists may wish to reconsider. Hot stamping on black leather is less visible, so it is not recommended. https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1791/43750935652_37e72b22b7.jpg 4. Characteristics of Genuine Leather https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4258/35675808411_e625a445f6_o.jpg Animal hides possess their own unique textures. Even within the same cowhide, color variations can occur due to different parts, and the leather may naturally exhibit scars, spots, or growth lines. Therefore, each bag is truly one-of-a-kind. As these are handmade items, minor imperfections may be present. Please refrain from purchasing if these details are a concern. Custom orders, excluding deliberate defects, are non-returnable and non-exchangeable. 5. Important Considerations ・New cowhide requires no initial care. We recommend applying leather conditioner every 2-3 months after the first six months of use. ・Leather may develop water spots, discoloration, or deformation if exposed to water; please dry it promptly. Be cautious to avoid oil stains. ・The natural leather surface does not undergo extensive waterproofing. Therefore, contact with water or friction may cause color transfer or fading. 6. TTH Studio offers complimentary maintenance services, including basic repairs for hardware. Please feel free to utilize this service. https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4262/35792585085_d6f8a7c761_b.jpg
