The Mama Flapper features roomy size and hand folded "French" binding on the flap.

The smoothly rounded flap of the Mama Flapper closes with a durable magnetic snap and is trimmed with hand rolled "French" binding. Inside the bag you'll find a large slip pocket and a large zipper pocket all cut from the same leather as the exterior. There's a another nice slip pocket on the outside back for keys, cellphone, mail, or other items you need to keep handy. A small slip pocket for your cell phone is sewn to the back zip pocket.

The shoulder strap is about 1" wide, 42" long, and adjusts with a solid brass buckle. The Mama Flapper is designed to be carried over your shoulder in the conventional way.

The leather I use for this purse is a slightly thicker cowhide with a light semi-aniline finish. Thicker leather gives the purse more substance, and semi-aniline means that the leather has been soaked in dye for a deep and durable color and then finished with a top coat of color to give the skin greater uniformity and some resistance to spotting and staining. All leather will stain if something oily or sticky gets on it, but you can take this bag out in the rain with no problems. I recommend periodic use of saddle soap or a good quality leather conditioner to keep your bag looking its best.

As always, this purse is handcrafted in my Asheville, NC workshop. This is a traditional craftsman purse with no fabric lining to rip or wear out. The softly sueded back of the leather itself serves to line the interior.

The textured leathers in this bag are cowhide that has been embossed and colored to resemble exotic skins. I do not use the skins of wild caught animals.
