Moroccan The Leather Saddle Bag

The saddle bag is one of those forms that has survived centuries because it simply works. The curved body distributes weight naturally, the flap closure keeps contents secure without requiring two hands to open, and the shape sits comfortably against the hip whether worn on a shoulder strap or a belt loop. This version is made from vegetable-tanned leather that has been shaped over a wooden form and allowed to dry in position, which gives it a rigidity that softer bags can't match. The interior is a single clean compartment with one flat pocket. The strap is adjustable and can be worn long for cross-body carry or shortened for a shoulder carry. The leather is a warm caramel color that will deepen to a rich amber over time.
