The Kendal — Palomino Hair-On Cowhide Bucket Bag

The Kendal Hair-On is our drawstring bucket bag with a hair-on cowhide body, a full grain leather top band and brass eyelets.

Palomino hair-on cowhide, a golden honey-caramel hair, trimmed in cognac full grain leather. Every hide is patterned differently, so yours will be one of a kind.

It is 9.75 inches wide and 9 inches tall, 4.75 inches deep, and it holds more than it looks.

Inside there is a slip pocket and a zip pocket for keys and cards.

Choose the Kendal Hair-On if you want a soft, textured bag for autumn. Browse all our hair-on hide bags, or our leather bucket bags.

The hide

The panels are hair-on cowhide: the hair is left on the hide, so the color and pattern are natural and every bag is different. Yours will not match the photos exactly, and that is the point. Expect a few loose hairs in the first weeks; that settles quickly. The trim, handles and straps are smooth full grain leather.

How it is made

Made to order in our own workshop. Every piece is cut by hand, the seams are stitched with waxed thread, the edges are sanded and burnished rather than painted, and the hardware is solid brass. Three initials are pressed free on the leather trim, in gold foil, silver foil or a blind press.

Care

Brush the hair gently in the direction it lies, keep it dry, and never use conditioner, oil or a damp cloth on the hair. Condition only the smooth leather trim, twice a year.
