PARFLECHE TABLET BAG
The Parfleché crossbody/backpack is a true heritage piece. Created via traditional leather-smithing methods and using only the best locally-sourced, American made materials. The 8oz latigo leather used is Strong, pliable and fully conditioned, Oiled Latigo is hot dipped in a special mix of oils, waxes and tallows. Reinforced to withstand the elements, the lighter colors have a rich pull-up and display strong character. Crafted in both a firmer and softer temper, the leather’s high concentration of oils could cause leaching.
The inspiration for this bag came from Rachael's time spent with the Lakota Tribe in North Dakota. Giving a nod to the Native American belief of honoring the earth + spirit carried on in themselves and all around them. Parfleché bags were once simply ones prize possessions wrapped in a dried animal hide and tied with a string.
