"MIRROR POND"
“The Mirror Pond” Handbag is built using high quality hides that range in colors and weights but all provide customization, uniqueness, and durability for life. All of our SMG Leatherworks Handmade Goods are “Guaranteed for Life” so you can rest assured that your investment will always be in proper working condition, and if anything happens to it you can be confident in a “no questions asked” repair done free of charge.
Our “Solid Made Goods” are heirloom pieces meant to handle everyday use and abuse and hold up for decades. You can hand these amazing creations down to loved ones someday, and they’ll get some good use out of them as well. This particular bag holds most laptops, along with a notepad or binder and a few other things nicely. The hand Saddle-Stitching along the seams of this bag are the strongest type of stitch there is. We can do custom laser-engraving of initials or any logos or designs you have in mind. Reach out for customization options or just order to receive an item that is as close to what is pictured. Keep in mind that these real hides reveal unique markings and characteristics throughout, so no two pieces will be identical, and that to us makes each piece one-of-one.
PLEASE NOTE: the bag pictured is a representation of what you will be receiving. Branding and markings will be different.
