A beautiful and useful throw it in daily tote bag from Vasco’s “Old Oil Series”. The boat tote is a very well made (as with all from Vasco) Tote bag, no fuss or frills but benefits from a sturdy solid brass adorned thick leather strap for shoulder or cross body carrying and is brass riveted in areas of stress. It comes in a beautiful and soft but heavy duty hand dyed by Vasco leather with a heavy duty bound lining and internal pocket. It is a lifetime rough and ready daily carrier.

The leather is vegetable tanned in Himeji, Japan and “hill dyed” by hand which is a very old traditional hand dyeing method which gives the leather a very rich lustre and slight vintage texture and look. It’s beautiful.

The brass fittings are custom made for Vasco, the interior is lined with a heavy duty canvas and the thick leather strap is comfortable and will shape and soften with use. Nice details and handsomely fit for purpose.

These bags are investment pieces as they will age to perfection with you and whoever you pass it onto.

All hand dyed, cut and sewn by a very small team of true artisans in Japan.
