Featuring a woven eco-leather and brass stud design, this shoulder bag is perfect for a short day trip or as an everyday purse. Eco-leather is crafted without using hazardous chemicals in the tanning process. Instead of azo dyes, formaldehyde and other substances, eco-leather is tanned using materials derived from sustainable tea bark extracts and waxes. This ô vegetable tanningö was used in India in ancient times to tan leather.
