My niece Ashley, loves handbags...next to shoes, that is. She must have a hundred pairs, which keeps her in the perennial market for handbags to match.

Naturally, when I thought about a new handbag design, I went to her for ideas. The result was spot on...an exquisite handbag perfect for any casual outing.

Craftsmen in the Col. Littleton Workshop use brown native American steer hide, which I personally selected from our local tannery, to craft this classic bag. The leather has been dry milled for a soft look and feel that easily contours to shape.

The bag features braided leather straps and has a nickel silver post closure at the top.

Inside you'll find both a zippered pocket and a divided pocket for handy storage of personal items. The outside front pocket flap has a magnetic closure for easy entry.
