Reindeer Leather Kiss Frame Coin Purse Alder

This is an Alder brown reindeer leather leather coin purse with a kiss lock metal frame. The reindeer leather pouch is trimmed with black wool vadmal. This coin purse is lined with naturally dyed linen/cotton fabric. The reindeer leather coin pouch has a tablet woven cotton wrist strap in black and Sami rainbow colours.

Reindeer leather is a precious commodity that is difficult to source. Most of the reindeer hides are used by the Saami people for their own clothing and personal use. I am only able to purchase the reindeer leather in small quantities that are sold as scrap leather. I stitch the small pieces together in order to make purses, pouches, reindeer bracelets and other items. Nothing is wasted.

Each purse, pouch and handbag is different depending on the reindeer leather that I currently have on hand.
