One-Off leather messenger bag

Wow ... this was, by far, the most challenging leather project I have ever undertaken. I spent the better part of a winter stitching this bag together. All by hand. It has a double-stitched gusset which is what proved to be nigh the end of me! But alas, I got to the last stitch and voila' ... here she is for your viewing or wearing pleasure!
I used some beautiful vintage veg-tanned leather for the back panel. It has a pocket inside and an adjustable shoulder strap complete with a movable cushion.
All solid brass hardware including cast harness rings This bag will out live many. Guaranteed!
