Braintan Leather Medicine Bag With Fringe
This custom fringed medicine bag is made from traditionally tanned deerskin leather. It is made considerately by hand, all stitching is done by hand, and the finished product is wonderfully soft and unique. Traditionally tanned leather, or braintan, is made in the old way using no chemicals. This process is very labor intensive, creating leather that is as soft as suede, water resistant, and incredibly strong. Custom options are available for added cost including larger sizes and bead work. This bag measures approx. 6" long (including fringe) and 2.5". Please contact my shop for more information about custom projects. Orders take around 1 to 2 weeks to be completed.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I am a mom, herbalist, and skilled craftswoman living high in the mountains of Colorado. I make beautiful, custom leather creations and bedwork including moccasins, earrings, and medicine bags. My husband and I braintan much of our own leather, which means the leather is made from deer and elk taken in a good way and traditionally tanned. I am a skilled seamstress and I take great pride in sewing all my leather work by hand. I particularly love making custom items for people, including beaded leather work. Examples include high top moccasins, beaded pipe bags, and custom medicine pouches.
