Description
A bucket bag with a softly gathered body and a drawstring throat, made for someone who prefers an easy, unstructured carry to anything rigid. A slim leather tassel hangs at the front beside a small embossed maker's mark, and a detachable strap lets the bag move from shoulder to crossbody.
The body is cut from soft, supple sheep leather, sealed to hold its finish and soften with use, while the straps and edge binding are firmer cowhide that holds its shape where the bag takes weight. With wear the cowhide softens and deepens to a warm, lived-in tone — the two leathers settling at their own pace.

Care
Cared for simply, this piece will only grow more beautiful with time. Wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth to lift everyday dust, and keep it away from direct sunlight and heat, which draw the natural oils from the leather. Should it meet the rain, blot the moisture — never rub — and let it air-dry, well away from any heat.
Every month or so, work a small amount of neutral leather conditioner into the grain to keep it supple. At rest, store the piece in its dust bag, loosely filled with acid-free tissue to hold its shape; never seal leather in plastic, as it must be allowed to breathe.
With wear, the leather will soften and gain character — deepening gently in tone over time. This is not damage, but patina: the quiet record of a piece well lived with.
