I know that many people use braintan leather for re enactment clothing, and
historical projects, but sometimes it is just plain fun to bring its use into
the 21 century. After watching colleges and businesses give away simple backpacks
for promotional advertising and also seeing them sold at stores I got the “why
not” idea of making a similar style backpack out of braintan. Of course since it
is made out of leather and braintan at that, fringe became a necessity. While I
am at it, l twist the fringe for a cooler look and braid a one of a kind
braintan strap for it too. There are a few things I would do different on the
next one, but I really like this bag. I would of loved to bead on it, however,
that would of drove the price so high I decided it was best to keep it simple. In fact it is supposed to be for sale, but I keep eyeing it up for mine. ; ) Either
way is ok, because I can always make another. Wouldn’t you want one?
The second picture shows the true color, but the other pictures show better detail.
