{"product_id":"courbette-wave-bag","title":"Courbette Wave Bag","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis bag was made from the inner flaps of a Courbette Spezial All Purpose saddle that was no longer useable as a riding saddle. I used new nubuck leather as the contrasting leather and the gusset, a billet as the closing strap, and a western split rein for the shoulder strap. All hardware is heavy duty brass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach bag I make tells a unique story. Using saddles means that generally every single one has a special shape and size, as I work around the saddle in front of me rather than creating set sewing patterns that use the same exact shape repeatedly. The wear on the saddles comes from decades of use and happy rides, providing character and patina that you cannot recreate with new leather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery stitch is applied by hand using the traditional saddle stitch technique with waxed thread. This time-honored method ensures robust construction; even if one stitch falters, the integrity of the seam remains intact, reflecting true artistry and personal dedication. All high end bag designers use this method (Gucci, Ferragamo, Hermes, etc). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 12\" x 12\" x 3.75\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Misty Meadows Leatherworking","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45726856052932,"sku":null,"price":400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/1845\/6004\/files\/PXL_20260201_150604622.jpg?v=1769960157","url":"https:\/\/mistymeadowsleatherworking.myshopify.com\/products\/courbette-wave-bag","provider":"Misty Meadows Leatherworking","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
