Why we love it
Because this isn’t a “western-inspired” bag—it’s the real thing. The horse has life. The cactus blooms feel lifted straight from the High Plains. It carries the same soul as a great pair of vintage boots: honest materials, human hands, and no shortcuts.
Notes & care
Condition with a neutral leather balm as needed. Avoid prolonged moisture exposure. With wear, the leather will darken and develop a rich, personal patina.
