HORSE BUTT RG LEATHER + 1950's VINTAGE LINEN BAG TOTE MM-6

HORSE BUTT RG LEATHER + 1950's VINTAGE LINEN BAG TOTE MM-6　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　A tote bag combining orange-dyed Raggrinzato horse butt leather with 1950s vintage linen, then piece-dyed in olive after construction. The olive dye settles differently into the leather and linen, creating subtle variations in tone while allowing the character of each material to remain visible.The broad body and substantial leather handles give the bag a strong, balanced shape. The dense texture of the horse butt leather and the dry, naturally aged surface of the vintage linen create a distinctive combination, with the olive finish bringing the two materials together while preserving their individual expression.

Materials & Craftsmanship　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　This bag combines vegetable-tanned Raggrinzato horse butt leather with 1950s vintage linen.Horse butt is taken from the dense fibrous area of the horse’s hindquarters and is characterized by its firmness, durability, and substantial thickness. In the Raggrinzato finish, the leather’s natural wrinkles and grain are emphasized, creating a richly textured surface with pronounced depth and character.For this model, the horse butt leather is first dyed orange and combined with vintage linen before the completed bag undergoes the olive piece-dyeing process. Because the two materials absorb the dye differently, subtle variations in tone and surface appear throughout the bag.The vintage linen has a dry texture and natural irregularity developed over many years. Because of its age and original character, differences in tone, weave, and surface may vary from piece to piece.After dyeing, the bag is left to dry naturally over an extended period and finished by hand to bring out the texture and individual character of both materials.All finishing processes are carried out in-house and by hand.
