OOAK Raw Leather Messenger Bag
Handcraft, Heirloom Quality
A WHIFF OF THE PAST

OOAK Messenger bag, which won't be reproduced. You will receive the same item as pictured.

Handmade with passion this bag has its own authentic personality, brings together vintage - rustic yet contemporary look.

Leathercraft is as old as humanity. Inspired by the past I create this bag, using the raw, natural edge of the leather, trying to achieve more authentic - natural look.

Carefully picked, different raw edge pieces leather was designed and heavily stitched together - the result is remarkable irregular shape, which can't be reproduced.


The bag is completely useful and practical. Some features can be personalized. The leather is extremely sturdy, thick, with a lot of characteristics. It will develop, the shades of brown will changes all over the time.

Trying to add a piece of history I decorate the flap with Authentic Vintage Skeleton Keys, which is found by me in a very old village (more than 100 years)., bringing its own traces of time.

All this make this bag a timeless art to wear unique as its future owner.

FIRE BURNING (BRANDED) INITIALS
My proprietary - Hand fire-burning. This is the oldest known method of marking the leather.
I don't use laser or electric iron. Your initials will be burned with custom-made letters that are hot on glowing red-hot coals (over 500 degrees). The result is a real ''BRANDING'', which gives the bags a unique authentic look with a very natural look.
In nowadays the Fire burning (branding) is the most attractive and less popular because of the process
is far too hard than any other contemporary way for marking or stamping the leather.

A personalized patch will be cut, brand and sewn by me.
The uppercase letters are 1 cm. high. They are custom made for my products.
The personalized patch will be attached (sewn) by me in down right corner of the bag. If you have any other preferences pls. convo me or leave a message in section "Note to the seller"

Example: George Samuel Smith
Initials on the bag would be: GSS

LEATHER SPECIFICS:

The unique antique appearance of "Crazy Horse" leather is taking the international online community by surprise. A simple scratch or rub turns the leather fibers to a different shade, a slight bend and the entire bend line fades to a different shade as well, and still, this type of leather is as durable as any other high-quality leather.
Crazy Horse leathers are made by applying a special kind of wax to a full grain leather surface that has been buffed and smoothed out. The type of wax used rests independently upon the leather fibers allowing the coloration of the leather surface to change if rubbed without the colors immediately reversing back. This process of rubbing and altering the color shades is what causes the antique appearance and is exactly what the craze for this leather is all about.
All this make "Crazy horse leather" different than other types of leather.

This item is real leather made to order and made without the use of robots or glue and it's made for you at the moment you order.
International orders may wait for 1 to 3 weeks to receive the item after shipping. Please be aware times vary from country to country and depends on your customs process.

As part of my Rustic style, I tried to show this natural variation in my product images by limiting (sometimes without) the use of photoshop editing and providing a high-resolution zoom, hoping that this allows you to make more of an informed choice when browsing my product. Pls, contact me if you have a question about any kind of details.
