Sacajawea Bag with Turquoise

This is the bag, featured in the April 2025 issue of Cowboys & Indians Magazine.  A truly special version of the Sacajawea Elk bag.  100% hand cut, hand sewn, this bag is supple and dreamy to touch and hold.  I love to utilize the rougher ends of an elk hide and made a flap that folds over the top. This includes hand cut fringe, leaves, genuine turquoise beads and a pewter arrow dangle.

The shoulder strap is hand sewn with turquoise beads and an accents. 

I need to confirm the size, but it’s approximately 11” wide.  The strap can fit just over the shoulder.

A Note about Elk and Deer Leather: These hides often have scars, and odd scarring or irregularities.  These are considered to be a normal part of the hide and part of its appeal.  I have found that water stains typically dry to be unnoticeable and even clear oil will be absorbed and disappear.  That said, extra care should be given to these hides as they are more susceptible to permanent stains.
