Tooled Leather Western Saddle Bag Purse

This is a medium-sized, western-style saddle bag handcrafted from vegetable-tanned leather. The exterior features a two-tone color palette, utilizing a warm tan/honey central panel flanked by deep mahogany brown panels. The leather is extensively hand-tooled with a traditional Sheridan-style floral and leaf motif, showcasing deep embossing and intricate texture. The bag’s flap is decorated with a perimeter of reflective silver-tone starburst or 'berry' concho studs. A prominent vertical leather strap runs down the center, featuring contrasting white top-stitching and a large, ornate silver-tone western buckle with filigree engraving. This buckle serves as the primary closure mechanism. The construction demonstrates high-quality craftsmanship through precise stitching and careful alignment of the tooled patterns. Condition appears excellent with no visible scuffing or dry-cracking; the hardware retains a bright, unpitted finish. The style is indicative of contemporary Western fashion, likely manufactured within the last 10–20 years. Such items are valued for their durability and the artisan skill required for the leather stamping and die-cutting process.
