Luxury Blue and Brown Leather Weekender Bag
Handcrafted blue and brown leather weekender bag made from full grain leather tanned in Spain. This was created as part of a friendly challenge within the small crafting community to create a duffle bag. The requisite was to hold several days worth of clothes and travel necessities. The handle placement and design allows the weekender bag to be carried like a backpack during travels. Specially designed handles provides comfortable hand carry and flat design for a steady backpack use. Leathers used has a dry and soft hand feel.
Inspiration for the trapezoid shape stems from the symbolic meaning of triangles, as an empowerment to women and the connection of mind, body and soul to wish a safe and successful journey. The blue curve design on the sides represents a stream of life for recovery and relaxation. The blue piping leads the eyes along the shape of the bag.
