brown leather handmade carryall bag by "leatherworks by Jolene" Nova Scotia

Stunning hand made leather carryall bag by Jolene Dauphney at Leather Works in Nova Scotia Canada. Bag is in excellent, barely used condition. The bag is a dark chocolate brown, almost a deep mahogany/burgundy and is accented by lighter brown leather handles and detail.  When you first push open the old wooden door at Leather Works, you are met with the rich, velvet aroma of fresh leather, hanging still in the summer air, followed by a friendly greeting from one of the women on staff. Skirted with pane glass windows, the light from outside pours warmly into the rustic storefront, where walls are lined with beautiful bags, belts and buckets to boot. The heavy hum of the Singer 211-G-156 sewing machine can be heard from the open workshop, where Jolene Dauphney, owner, artisan and leather worker, is happy to invite you back for a tour. Hooks laden with tools and thread, this is a room where hours pass with a great deal of passionate skill and hard work. The last photo in the listing is the black version so you can see how it sits  In 2014, Jolene purchased Leather Works and stands as a poster woman for women in trade. There's no guys here…and everyone is surprised! Jolene laughs. This mighty gal has a wonderful team of all female employees from the community, who work with diligence to provide a beautiful, high quality, hand-made product to share with the world.
