Stowaway Bag - Made from a retired English Saddle

Each bag made from retired saddles is a one of a kind piece. The various saddle pieces serves as a beautiful picture story book. These projects allow the saddle owner to transform a retired saddle into something they can continue to use, or they can pass it along to someone else. 

This mid sized bag came from a beautiful retired English saddle and has both grab handles and a removable strap that will transform the bag into either a cross body bag or shoulder bag. This bag is entirely hand stitched, utilizing some of the brass hardware I could salvage along with saddle straps used both to close the bag and serve as the cross body or shoulder strap.

This bag also has an internal zip pocket, large enough to secure a wallet, keys & phone.

The bag measures approximately 13.5 inches across, 11 inches tall and 3 inches deep.
