This handmade leather bag carries the warmth of natural materials and the intention of slow craft. The leather ranges from soft browns to warm beige tones, stitched, braided, and shaped with evident care. A large turquoise cabochon sits at the center of the flap, framed by layered leatherwork that gives the stone both presence and depth. Small turquoise stones are worked throughout the design, adding subtle highlights of sky blue against the natural earth palette.Hand-painted mandalas bloom across the flap in tones of turquoise, white, and rust, their geometry adding a sense of rhythm and contemplation. Feathers extend from braided cords at either side, bringing motion and lightness to the piece — blue-greens, soft neutrals, and occasional flashes of darker tones that recall river birds and woodland plumage.The strap is braided and stitched in complementing hues, substantial yet flexible. The bag’s shape is both practical and refined, with enough structure to hold form but enough softness to wear comfortably at the shoulder or across the body. The overall impression is earthy, spirited, and thoughtful: a meeting point between leathercraft, beadwork, painting, and adornment.This piece suits those who value handmade work and natural materials, who are drawn to turquoise and featherwork, and who appreciate pieces that feel both personal and expressive. Worn in daily life or carried for festival, market, or travel, the bag holds the presence of an object made with time and intention rather than haste.
