Misty landscape bag

This bag reads like an unrolled landscape scroll: blue mountains, pines and golden pagodas run across the leather, and each side carries a scene of its own. The grain of the hide shows through the picture, so the clouds and rocks have a texture you can feel.

The quiet blues stop at the rim. Inside is a bright fuchsia lining, with the same colour showing along the base seam and at the top edge, and a slip pocket cut from the landscape leather itself.

A wide woven strap in matching blue adjusts on a brass slider, and it is joined to the bag by leather tabs cut from the same picture. The top closes with two brass press studs.
