Why You'll Love It
- Genuine hair-on cowhide – the lower panel is real hair-on hide, so the spotting, shading, and hair length are different on every single bag.
- A boot-stitch front – classic cowboy boot stitching runs across the hand-shaded tan leather, just like the shaft of a handmade boot.
- Hand-braided trim – a band of braided brown leather divides the leather and hide on the front and wraps the back.
- Roomy enough for every day – a 16.5" body with a zip top holds a tablet, wallet, and the day's extras, with metal feet to protect the base.
- Organized inside – a lined interior with a zip wall pocket and slip pockets.

The Story
The word before the word.
For the version of you that's just getting started.
Sunstone is a gem that seems to glow from the inside — warm, golden, and different every time the light hits it. This tote carries that same warmth: sun-shaded tan leather with boot stitching you'd find on a hand-built pair of boots, a braided leather band, and a panel of real hair-on cowhide that makes yours one of a kind.
Because it's genuine leather and natural hair-on hide, each bag varies in shading, hair length, and spotting, and the leather will soften and deepen with every wear. Hair-on hide wears naturally with use — that's part of its character.
