Leather Hip Satchel - Mayan Serpent

History and art in your hand and on your shoulder.

This rare, one-of-a-kind leather hip satchel is a functional work of art that you can take with you! More than roomy enough for everyday carry items like cellphone, wallet and keys, but also sturdy and made from time-tested historical leather. 

The Artwork

The hand-carving and artwork on this bag is inspired by the motifs and bas relief of ancient Mexico. In pre-Columbian times, the feathered serpent was known as Quetzalcoatl to the Aztecs and Kukulkan to the Maya and was a god representing the union of earth and sky. The carving features Mayan glyphs taken from the many beautiful bas reliefs of ancient Mexico and Guatemala. The lid also contains a 100% real jade gemstone. To ancient Mexicans, jade was the most valuable substance, exceeding gold, representing life, fertility, power, and divinity

The Quality

This entire hip bag is handmade; cut, carved, embossed, painted and sewn entirely by hand in our workshop. We use eco-friendly vegetable-tanned leather for the body of the bag and reclaimed garment leather for the gusset walls. The bag features belt loops so that you can wear it at the hip, as well as two eyelet anchors for the attachment of a strap. The bag uses a strap and keeper closure system for easy access. We use eco-friendly water-based paints and dyes as well as strong waxed thread to make all of our productions.

Dimensions:
Standard Hip Bag pouch measures 25.5 cm across, 19.5 cm tall and a width of 8 cm.
