Why we love it
This piece sits at the intersection of Western art and everyday function. The sculpted horse portrait has real depth and movement—more saddle-shop artwork than accessory—while the floral tooling on the reverse nods to classic Plains craftsmanship. It’s the kind of bag that feels personal the moment you put it on.
