It's light enough for a day at the lake or the farmers market.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe handles are cut from the same hide as the bag, so the color and grain match all the way around, and every joint is set with copper rivets and burrs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-piece accordion body that collapses and expands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandles cut from the same hide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCopper rivets and burrs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremium glossy full-grain chrome-tan leather in Earth brown, 5 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollapsed: 5\" x 5\" x 15\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpanded: 5\" x 11\" x 15\" (not including handles)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOne of a kind.

It's REAL.\u003c\/strong\u003e You can tell the difference between something stamped out by a machine and something made by human hands, and this piece was made by hand from the first cut to the last rivet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe cuts and rivets:\u003c\/strong\u003e every strip is cut and every rivet is set by hand, so the spacing has a slight rhythm and variation that a machine can't fake.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe surface:\u003c\/strong\u003e natural grain, small scars and shifts in color are part of the hide and stay that way.

I take custom orders on every piece, in a different leather, color, thread or size. Custom work costs about the same as the ready-to-ship version; it just takes longer, usually 2–4 weeks. Premium and exotic leathers cost more, and I quote those individually. Email \u003cstrong\u003ehello@vanzantleathercraft.com\u003c\/strong\u003e to start yours.
