“I made this tote for all you thoroughbreds-at-heart out there. In Ireland in the 1700s a world class event in the thoroughbred horse-racing world called the Steeplechase originated. The grueling 2-4 ½ mile course tested riders and their mounts to the ultimate degree as they jumped fences and water ditches. Some days your life may seem like an obstacle course; but even if you have a hard way to go and not much time to get there, the Steeplechase Tote will give you momentum and allow you to arrive at your destination in style.”

You can expect the materials from which we handcraft this tote in our Workshop in Lynnville, TN to be of the highest quality. The main body of the Steeplechase Tote is made of our full-grain Vintage Brown American Steerhide and accented with our textured full-grain Tobacco Brown American Buffalo and nickel-finished hardware. We used American Calfskin to fully line the interior of the bag which sports a large (6” x 8”) zippered pocket to keep essentials handy and a 1 ¾” nickel-finished “fishhook” style chain for your keys.
Overall outside dimensions are 12” (T) x 10 ½” (W) x 3 ½” (D). An exterior back pocket (6” (W) x 6 ½” (T)) provides easy access to your phone or other accessories while the magnetic snap closure keeps contents secure. All areas of the tote are meticulously edge stitched and edge coated, which are hallmarks of quality construction. Double handles with a 14” drop complete the look.
No matter what the day has in store, the Col. Littleton Steeplechase Tote will get you through it with style and grace. Comes to you in a cotton canvas drawstring storage bag with the Col. Littleton logo.
Leather: Always full-grain, the finest cut of leather. Expertly vegetable-tanned and finished in rich custom colors. Handcrafted exclusively for Col. Littleton in small U.S. tanneries.
Extras:
Designed by Colonel Littleton and handcrafted in our workshop in Lynnville, TN.

Leather Steeplechase Tote/Purse 
We are committed to producing quality, handcrafted products that showcase our time-honored standards of excellence and deep respect for the Americana tradition. Col. Littleton products go through rigorous testing and numerous quality inspections before being shipped to our customers. Should you receive a Col. Littleton product that is defective in materials or workmanship, you can count on us to make it right. Our guarantee is limited to the cost of the product itself. It also does not cover normal wear and tear. We feel if you just plain “wore it out,” you got your money’s worth. Also, we cannot be responsible for an item which has suffered through alteration, damage due to improper cleaning, improper use, mishandling or accident. If we made a mistake in personalizing your product or if the product is defective in materials or workmanship, of course we’ll replace it. Otherwise, personalized products are not returnable.
Leather is a passion for me. There are more kinds of leather and leather processing out there than you can shake a stick at. You can mold leather into just about any shape or form. You can make every hide look just alike. You can dye it green, blue or even pink. You can apply a finish, coat it, spray it or make it look slick and shiny. That’s not what we’re about at Col. Littleton. To me the beauty is in the naturalness of the leather. People always comment to me about the special “feel” of our leather and how it becomes even more beautiful after it has some wear on it. It’s all about our leather process. When you buy Col. Littleton leather goods, you’re buying, for the most part, full-grain American vegetable-tanned steerhide that has received a minimum of alteration. We don’t apply a finish to hide character markings. The way I see it, every marking tells a story and covering them robs the piece of its life and character.
I see a real resurgence in the country today for products made in America. Our focus is to design and create products that speak to the time-honored traditions that have made this country great such as handmade craftsmanship, authentic rich leathers and quality workmanship. There’s a nostalgic feel about the products we make . . . most of them could have been made 100 years ago and many are made using turn-of-the-20th-century methodology and machinery. Our products are true Americana; forged as our forefathers intended by people who care and take pride in making a beautiful product.
