Cowhide Messenger Tote Bag – Tan & White or Brown & White

This messenger-style tote is built from genuine hair-on-hide cowhide paired with smooth tan leather trim, straps, and detailing. Available in a tan and white spotted pattern or a deeper brown and white spotted pattern, each with matching leather trim. A horizontal tan leather accent band runs across the upper front, secured on both ends with antiqued brass dome rivets.

Cowhide messenger tote bag with dual front zip pockets

Two parallel horizontal zippered pockets sit on the lower front midsection, each finished with a leather fringe pull tab for quick, tactile access. Dual slim, rounded leather shoulder handles pair with a detachable, adjustable crossbody strap secured by brass swivel clasps, so the bag adapts to however you want to carry it that day. Whichever colorway you choose, the square silhouette holds a soft, natural contour over a clean flat base.
