Vintage Cognac Leather Crescent Hobo Bag

This is a medium-sized crescent or 'half-moon' shaped hobo-style shoulder bag crafted from a supple, pebbled cognac-brown leather. The bag displays a rich, warm patina characteristic of full-grain or top-grain leather that has aged naturally. Its construction features a minimalist, slouchy silhouette with subtle darting at the bottom corners to provide volume and structure. The main compartment is accessed via a top metal zipper with silver-toned teeth, accented by a circular silver metal pull tab. The hardware includes substantial gold-toned swivel lobster clasps connecting a matching flat leather shoulder strap to the body, indicating a modular or adjustable design. The stitching is executed in a tonal thread, appearing even and reinforced at high-stress points like the strap attachments. The leather surface shows minor aesthetic wear including faint scuffs and natural creasing consistent with vintage utility, but lacks significant cracking or structural failure. This piece appears to be a high-quality contemporary or late-20th-century artisan leather good, prioritizing material quality and functional simplicity over overt branding.
