Hunting and Gatherings - Canvas and Leather



Beauty, Art and Taste
I always look for pieces which has been carefully crafted, 
aesthetically pleasing, and evoke the old era of travel during the early 20th Century.  They should be practical and functional and sometimes have a splash of contemporary feel.
