Soft Leather Handbag

Cognac is the color leather wants to become on its own, the warm reddish brown that a decade of sun and handling would give you. The detail work here is all hand stitch language: whip stitch wrapped around the full perimeter, pick stitch run straight across the top, cross stitch climbing the straps.

A magnetic snap holds the top shut. Inside are two open pockets and a zip pocket, with another zip pocket on the back outside. The double straps carry extended laces that hang loose as you walk. It's a roomy bag at fifteen inches tall, made for jeans and boots or a suede jacket in town.
