East meets West - I am using some materials found on my travels to Japan for a limited production of bags.

These bags are completely hand stitched by me using deerskin scraps from My Dear Tejas jacket production. It has a pocket for your ID, credit cards, business card and money. The main compartment can hold your phone and passport. The crossbody strap is hand braided.
