This Sacred x Water Buffalo OnTheGo Bag is handmade from an ethically sourced "sacred" black Water Buffalo leather. Water Buffalo Leather is known for its softness and strength. Though its fair to say it is one of the more challenging leathers we work with because of this leathers thickness / weight. A true labor of love! One of the most rewarding factors that goes along with the workings of these water buffalo art wearables is knowing that this leather will stand the test of time.
The Water Buffalo Archetype & symbolism have been apart of human history since ancient times and origins rooted in Asia. Though various cultures have their own interpretations some include, grounding, connection to the earth, good luck, blessings, prosperity. The Water Buffalo Archetype is seen as a bridge to the physical & spiritual realms; reminding us to stand in our power from a place of gratitude & inner strength. Domesticated, but non the less powerful- the water buffalo is a modern symbol of community & stability.
Unfortunatley too often the fashion & luxury goods industry is very wasteful in their leather production, meaning they typically only use what is deemed the highest quality of each hide & completley discard the rest. Instead, we utilize the entirety of each hide which is the trademark for the very unique and rather unusual shapes of our designs. Thats right, we work with the natural imperfections, curvature & characteristics that are unique to each natural fiber. We believe in sustainable practices as these are small batch creations, not mass produced; out of the belief in sustainability for all individual life forms. Our devotion to quality & consistency is founded in the respect we have towards the workings of these materials throughout the evolution of human history. From the tannery - to our thoughtful design process - into our handmade leather craft- these bespoke creations are brought from our hands to yours, as wearable works of art!
We understand the need to remain hands-free amidst the daily hustle. Averaging around 10x8 inches, this durable travel accessory includes two trigger snaps and a detachable chain, giving you the freedom of customizable styling.

***This HANDMADE small batch creation is a one-of-a-kind wearable work of art. Because these are not mass produced we utilize the entirety of each hide which is the trademark for the very unique and rather unusual shapes of the front foldover flap on our clutch designs. Keeping that authentic edge of the hide in our design process means no two are exactly alike! Please note that these are made to order and may vary slightly in color & design from sample photo.
