Nordic Handbag

Design

This leather bag is designed, built and hand sewn from scratch by Sean of Sacred Knot Tattoo. Triple dyed dark brown, the bronze fittings that ornament this bag were purchased from Viking markets across Europe. Sean has been collecting these for years for this purpose. 

It is difficult to depict in the photos, but the bag strap also has three matching bronze fittings that sit across the shoulder. 

Material & Make

Hand crafted in Wales from 100% vegtan cowskin.

All patches are hand cut, pressed and dyed out of high quality leather by Sacred Knot. They are not machine stamped.
