Petite Leather Dock Bag in Natural Veg Tan

Meet the Petite Leather Dock Bag. This classic every day bag was inspired by a handmade piece we uncovered at an estate sale and is meant to be a timeless accessory that pairs well with every occasion.

A perfect size for carrying your every day essentials but don't be fooled - this little bag can actually hold quite a lot! We like to stuff it full of books or vegetables at the farmers market and are always shocked how much can truly fit in there. 

Measures approximately 9" wide, 8.5" tall, 6" deep with a strap drop of 4.5". 

Made with supple, soft brown latigo leather that will only get more beautiful as it ages. This leather is conditioned to be weather and stain resistant. 

Made in the United States.

Natural vegetable tanned leather is untreated and will age beautifully as you start to use it. Veg tan leather patinas with time and exposure to the sun - it starts as a pale pink but will eventually turn into a gorgeous light honey brown color. The fifth photo shows how veg tan leather will patina after being in the sun for approximately one week.

Veg tan leather is coveted by many because it wears in differently for each person, is a reflection of how they move through the world, and truly becomes a one of a kind piece. 

Our personal recommendation is to use your bag for a few weeks before you condition it for the first time since a few weeks of wear will show some subtle aging. However, if you strongly prefer a bag that is completely free of any marks or scuffs we recommend conditioning before use. 

Leather conditioner will protect the bag from stains, water damage, and will keep the leather supple.
