Hashmeers Pure Leather Travel Bag — Hair-On Cowhide Weekender in Black & White with Detachable Shoulder Strap

• PURE LEATHER, HAIR-ON COWHIDE: Cut from natural cowhide with the hair left on, panelled against smooth grain leather trim. This is hide, not printed fabric and not coated PU. It has weight in the hand and it tells you so the moment you pick it up.

• NO TWO ARE THE SAME: Every hide carries a different pattern, so the bag you receive will not match the photograph exactly. That is the point of it. Yours is the only one.

• ANTIQUE BRASS FITTINGS THROUGHOUT: Aged brass-finish D-rings, buckles, swivel snap hooks and branded zip pulls. A full-length twin-slider zip runs the length of the opening, so the bag opens flat rather than fighting you at the airport.

• CARRY IT TWO WAYS: Twin rolled leather top handles for the hand, plus a detachable adjustable shoulder strap with an antique-brass buckle for everything else. One external slip pocket on the end panel for a phone, passport or boarding pass.

• CABIN-SIZED, SOFT-SIDED: 50 x 25 x 24 cm. Soft sides give and squeeze into a sizer where a hard case will not. Cabin limits differ by airline, so check yours before you count on carrying it on - most economy allowances cap at 7 kg packed.

• HANDCRAFTED IN LAHORE: Cut, stitched and finished by hand in Pakistan, by the same craft base that supplies hair-on leather goods to buyers across the US and Europe. Sold here, at home, without the export markup.

EVERY PIECE IS ONE OF ONE. Hair-on cowhide comes from a natural hide, and no two animals carry the same markings. The bag that arrives at your door will be recognisably this bag - same shape, same trim, same fittings - but the pattern will be its own.

Please order expecting that, because it is the whole reason this bag looks the way it does.

The Hashmeers travel bag is a full-size weekender cut from pure leather, with hair-on cowhide across the body and smooth grain leather at the trim, base and end panels.

It is built to be lived with rather than looked after - the hide darkens and softens with handling, and the marks it picks up become part of it.

A full-length twin-slider zip opens the whole top, so you pack it flat instead of posting things through a gap. Twin rolled leather handles sit on antique-brass D-rings.

The adjustable shoulder strap detaches completely on swivel snap hooks when you do not want it. One external slip pocket on the end panel takes a phone, a passport or a boarding pass without opening the bag.

Handcrafted in Lahore. Pakistan has made hair-on leather goods for the world for decades; this one was made for here.

Care instructions: 
Do not soak, machine wash or dry clean. Hair-on hide must not get wet.
Brush gently WITH the direction of the hair using a soft dry brush.
Wipe the leather trim with a barely damp cloth and dry it immediately.
Keep out of direct sunlight and away from heaters.
Light shedding of hair in the first few weeks is normal and settles.
Store loosely stuffed, in the dust bag, out of a sealed plastic cover.
