A nostalgic piece of mid-century handcraft, this satchel showcases the art of Indian leather tooling. The leather has been hand-embossed with a detailed narrative scene: women in traditional saris balancing water vessels on their heads. The rich cognac-colored leather is framed by stylized floral borders. While the bag has lived a full life—evidenced by the tears and the detached handle—it has acquired the kind of heavy, authentic patina that cannot be faked. It is now retired from travel and serves as a soulful artifact of the past. Since this bag is no longer functional for carrying, it finds new life as a stationary styling object. It is perfect for a "collected" bookshelf
