Moomiss Crossbody

The crossbody that carries the two most beautiful Western material traditions in the most beautifully organized composition the format allows — genuine black and white speckle hair-on cowhide body with a natural tan hand tooled sunflower and floral scroll lower panel, white diamond whipstitch border, drawstring top closure, and a hand tooled adjustable crossbody strap in the most breathtaking Western crossbody in the collection. The organization of this crossbody bag — cowhide above, hand tooled leather below — is the compositional principle that the finest Western leather bag makers have always understood: the tooled leather panel at the lower portion of the bag provides the craft-grounded visual foundation from which the bold, natural cowhide body rises, the two materials in the vertical relationship that makes each one more beautiful and more meaningful for the presence of the other. The body is genuine black and white speckle hair-on cowhide — the fine, densely distributed speckle pattern on dark ground that is the most graphically distinctive and most visually alive cowhide colorway in the collection, the white speckle catching light across the dark base in the way that makes genuine hair-on cowhide look different from every viewing angle. The lower front panel is hand tooled natural tan leather in the sunflower and floral scroll pattern — the large sunflower rosette centered in the panel as the primary botanical element, surrounded by the dense botanical scroll forms that fill every remaining inch of the panel surface in the all-over coverage of genuine Western leather artisanship. White diamond whipstitch traces the curved upper edge of the tooled panel and the lower corners in the hand-finished accent stitch that provides the clean bright line between the warm natural tan tooled leather and the dark speckle cowhide above and around it. The drawstring top closure — leather drawstring loops visible at the top of the bag — is the open-top carry format that provides quick, easy access to the interior without the zipper mechanism, the drawstring pulling closed and the top of the cowhide body cinching in the classic Western bag closure format. A leather tassel detail hangs from the strap attachment hardware on the side of the bag, and the adjustable crossbody strap is hand tooled in the matching botanical scroll pattern along its visible length.
