Rosalie — Painted Hand-Tooled Cowhide Bag
Rosalie is a medium cowhide bag, its front panel genuine premium hair-on cowhide hand-carved with a lady-on-the-horse motif and finished with a turquoise hand-painted highlight worked into the carving. A leather tassel hangs from the side, and the back panel is finished in plain leather with its own zip pocket.
Every Rosalie is cut and finished from a single hide, so the carving plays against markings entirely its own — a feature of genuine cowhide, never a flaw, and the reason no two bags in this range are ever quite the same.

The Bag
Built to carry it all
Every bag in the range is genuine leather first, chosen as much for how it carries as for how it looks. We'd rather stock fewer bags done properly than a wide range done indifferently.
A long, adjustable shoulder strap lets Rosalie be worn slung across the body, while the zip pocket on the back panel keeps something you want within easy reach separate from the rest of the bag's contents. The horse-and-rider motif is a genuinely pictorial piece of tooling rather than a repeating floral pattern, making Rosalie the one bag in the range built around a scene rather than an ornament.
Aftercare
Keep it looking this good
Leather ages best with a little attention. Keep pieces away from direct heat and prolonged sun, wipe spills promptly with a dry cloth, and condition every few months with a leather-safe balm to stop it drying out. Store stuffed with tissue to hold its shape when not in use.
