Elk leather, vegetable tanned in a Swedish tannery.

Elk leather is hard-wearing and weather resistant. The manufacturer has been making these bags for 150 years.

Elk leather haversack/handbag.

It is strange that this design isn't seen more often. When empty it can be carried on a belt and is hardly noticed. When it is full, the shoulder straps, held on by studs, take the main weight. There are two compartments inside and you can carry items of clothing beneath the flap.
