This extraordinary handmade bag is a true work of art, crafted by Native American artisans in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Designed from genuine elk hide, it carries the soft, rich texture and natural durability that only real hide can offer. Every detail speaks to the skill and tradition of its makers—from the hand-laced leather stitching to the sinew sewing, a traditional technique known for being significantly stronger than standard thread.
The front features a beautifully beaded circular emblem in bold red, black, white, and yellow tones, adding striking contrast and authentic cultural artistry. Long fringe along the bottom edge and additional decorative fringe on the strap give this piece movement, character, and unmistakable style. The sides are secured with black leather lacing, giving the bag depth, structure, and visual uniqueness.
Because each piece is crafted entirely by hand, no two bags will ever be exactly alike. You will receive the exact bag pictured.
