Because cows are sacred in Nepal (and that's another whole story), the meat Nepalis eat is primarily water buffalo. Hence, the hide is a by product of meat production. Preparing the hide is a lengthy process, done completely by hand, using all local, natural, and organic materials. Then, they're designed and crafted by hand.
I love these rustic, open top shopping bags. All 3 sizes are some of my favorites. The small is a very simple, straight forward design wtih fat leather stitching up the front and back as well as some on the sides. The nice length handles are sewn on with some of the same stitching, and it has a leather toggle and loop for closure.
