Hand-Painted Landscape Cowhide Top-Handle Bag

This bag is constructed from first-layer cowhide selected for surface stability and paint adhesion. The front panel features a hand-painted landscape composition, sealed to protect pigment without flattening texture. Each painted panel varies slightly, which is expected and intentional.
The body is structured to support the artwork—soft collapse would distort the visual balance, so the side panels and base are reinforced. A rigid top handle provides controlled carry, while detachable straps allow shoulder or crossbody use without stressing the painted surface.
Metal fittings are load-bearing, not decorative. Stitch lines follow structural tension points to preserve shape and keep the artwork centered over time

Story
This piece is built around stillness.
The artwork isn’t there to decorate an outfit. It slows the bag down. The form stays quiet so the image can exist without noise—mountains, open space, a single figure under a red sun. The structure holds everything in place, so the image doesn’t shift, bend, or disappear with use.
It’s a bag meant to be carried deliberately, not thrown around.
