Mom and dad always called this pattern the Small Saddlebag. A friend in Pennsylvania told us it is called the Dawn. Call it what you want, it is a very cute bag either way. Not too roomy, but great for a night out on the town or for a little girl's first purse. Our handmade leather handbags can be stamped with a name or initials free!

The Dawn Handmade Leather Purse

Mom and Dad called this bag the Medium Saddlebag. In tradition of the story of the Dawn above, we renamed this bag the Twilight. Perfect for an evening out. Large enough to hold all the necessities. Small enough not to slow you down while you make a statement. Click on the picture to see more designs and measurement specifications

The Twilight Handmade LEather Pocketbook

The Roamer is our personal favorite. It looks small, but is deceivingly roomy inside. In fact, this handbag has nearly as much room inside as the Villager below. The Roamer is not quite as deep and tapers a little at the top. The short front flap allows us to sell it for much less. Your handbag can be personalized with a name or initials free.

The Roamer Handmade Retro Purse

The Villager seems to be the favorite design of our customers. This leather bag features room for everything you need plus a little extra for the junk you collect along the way. Our leather bags are cut, beveled, tooled, dyed, painted, punched, edges burnished (sealed with beeswax), and stitched by hand. In the name of purists, we even hand cut the heavy 1/4 inch oil tanned lace we use for hand stitching! Personalized Free

The Villager Handmade Leathe Purses

The Free & Easy Purse is another favorite of our customers. While it features the convenience of a large front pocket to keep keys and ID handy, like our other bags it is one large pocket inside. Things are not always at your fingetips. Also, all bags are made of 5 to 7 oz full-grain American tanned cowhide and feature solid brass hardware. The point? This bag tends to get heavy if you stuff it full!
